Product Information

Finally seal the end of the brake pipe with a female brake pipe end cap and make sure you clean up any spilt brake fluid with rags immediately as it is very corrosive. Place the brake pipe ends into the jam jar to catch any fluid and seal the hole in the junction box with a male brake pipe end cap.

I can do anything mechanical if I put my mind to it and I don't think repairing a brake pipe would be out of my league, its just a matter of having the right tools to do it with and you make it sound like a specialist only job, if I listened to people who said "specialist only" I would never attempt anything. Description says "Brake tube kit is made of high-quality flexible brass, durable, convenient, and won't rust.There wasn't loads of pipe left showing to work with but as this is so small it makes life really easy. The easiest way to do this is to place the fitment and flare the end of one end in the brake pipe (ready to be attached to the car), but to leave the other end un-flared and sealed with tape.

In fact copper was the material of choice for brake lines until prefabrication became the name of the manufacturing game, and that's the reason they now use steel - Prefabrication! If you use steel brake pipes then you need to disassemble and drop the car's subframe, as steel cannot be threaded into place like copper. While all brake flaring tools will work with "pure" copper pipe, only the expensive tools tend to work with kunifer copper pipes. Working under the rear of the car, first work the brake pipe free from the recess in the middle of the floorpan where there is a sharp 90 degree bend so it doesn't get caught during removal. The metric Din looks like a bubble, but the imperial SAE looks like a cocktail glass (see photo to left).

Our brake fitting kits include all the bits necessary to fit replacement parts, including all the required clips, springs, pins and bolts. When you remove your old brake pipes have a look at the flare on the end of them (it'll almost certainly be DIN) and only use that type of flare.

Simply cut some short lengths of pipe (about 1 inch long) and flare one end with the flarer (single flare for male fitments, double flare for female - your flarer will come with instructions for this). I was more concerned with him topping it up so the fluid doesn't drain out of the ABS module, I believe they are a right pain to bleed back up.You can use the flare too to straighten the hose by tightening it in the part that grips and gradually moving along. There are 2 of these tools available, the other does SAE flares which is a different type to what the TT requires which is a DIN bubble flare.
