Over xmas I'm going to be removing my rear axle which obviously mean disconnecting all the brake pipes...

My questions is when the car is apart is there anything available to plug the brake pipes to stop the endless dripping of brake fluid?

I want to just remove the braided hoses and put something in their place on the end of the union on the copper pipe...does anybody know of anything commerically available? The little plastic caps you get with new hoses don't seem 'water' tight....

just use brake pipe fittings !!! metric/unf
male or female depending on you car, flare a piece of pipe maybe more for you application!!
cut the end off and hammer flat-
remove your hose from the car and use this to blank off the hose- !!!!!!!!!!!! -job done or!!
buy some brake hose clamps!!!!!!!!!!!

I imagine brake hose clamps would damage braided hoses though wouldn't they?
