Brake pipe prices?

[Scougar]

Hi guys,

As you may know, just failed the S13 MOT.

Does anyone know the best place to get brake pipes (assuming the solid type here), and possibly prices of:

Nearside rear upper brake pipe
Offside Rear brake pipe

Answers on a postcard to... .. .

Alternatively, if anyone has some laying around in good condition

peanuts mate. If you can get them off the car you can take the old ones to a motor factor and get them to make you up new ones for about a tenner each. Or, if you're more hands on, you can buy a flaring kit and some pipe for about £25 and do it yourself, then you've always got the tools.

Rather trust someone else to do it for me, with regard to brake pipes. Thanks for the tip though. Unless I get a better offer, i'll do what you've suggested with taking it off etc

it is the way to go! remove of the car and take it to a motor factors

Mine failed on rear brake pipes this year. so I got the copper pipe and some unions and a flaring kit and sorted it for well under £50. did the work myself though

If you buy the pipes direct from the motor factors rather than having them made up... what are the prices like? (i.e. pre-made).

I'm sure i paid around a tenner to have a front to rear line and a rear driverside line made up.

This year when removing my ABS i bough a flaring kit and a roll of brake pipe. Very easy to do and cheaper if you plan on replacing a few of the lines.

exactly I've now got to replace a brakeline on my run about for its mot and I've got all the kit apart from a couple of unions that will only be a couple of quid to do the job

Most motor factors make them up from coiled pipe. I'd be suprised if they had them in stock pre-bent.

It's a great chance to get them in copper so you'll never have to replace them again.

I'm pretty sure the nissan ones aren't copper. They come pre shaped and cost a fair bit.

Agreed, a friend of ine whipped me some up in about 10mins in copper pipe, thats the cheapest way to go mate
