Hi,

After many years of going through MOT's without an issue, it has failed this year due to a kink in my rear offside brake line (wishbone to flexi on a Cosworth) which has always been there.

Ideally I wanted to get another without having to flare, as I neither have the tooling for this, nor the fittings.

Does anyone know who does these, as I have tried searching online to no avail.

Thanks,

Martin

Get the Flaremaster 2 from Sykes....and just DIY.

Although surely any garage could make you up a pipe if you take the old one to them ? Kunifer preferably.

Thanks, Stevie.

That is what I am going to do, my garage says they have the fittings as well.

Any motor factors, ebay, whatever will have the fittings.

Or at a search, I think some stainless fittings are available.

Flaremaster 2 is a great tool though. There are cheaper options out there, but other than a tool that goes into a vice, it's probably the best and most practical and can be bought for sensible money on ebay etc.

These are the absolute nuts, they will flare steel pipe on car too.

But as Stevie says a garage should make you up a pipe if you take yours for them to copy.

I’ve flared steel with the cheap eBay jobbies.
