Looking for brake pipes
keithdixon:
Paddocks were £109+VAT+Del
i think i will free up some time and make them
Merlin:
That's a huge price!!!. Do you need all the pipes re-newing?
Have you not got an independant motor shop/small back-street garage close to you that will make them up for you?
If not, measure the lengths you need for each pipe, sent me a PM with them & I will get you a price from my local bloke, I am sure they would be much cheaper. If they are I can get them made up & will send them down to you if you like, got pleanty of time in the Winter as too wet & wild up here to work outside on the motor.
They are made of Copper, easy to shape. Will also need which ends you need for each pipe, ie:- male/female.--Cheers--Cogs

I agree silly money,
I've got the copper tubing now, and the fittings from a local supplier (less than £40, already have the flaring tool so should have it all done this weekend.
There are only a couple of pipes which 'may' need doing, but with the whole project i have replaced with new anything which could become suspect (dangerous statement)
Damn thing needed one sill patching where the dreaded rust set in so she ended up with new inner & outer sills all round.(along with arches front & back)
she'll end up being mint and me skint
but thanks for the help.
I'm looking for a new starter now but not wanting to pay silly money
anyone have one spare?
:oops:
Merlin:
Glad the brake pipes are sorted, I got my Starter Motor overhauled at a local Auto-Electricions last year & it cost about £ 20 inc.the dreaded VAT. Been fine since.
At least the starter motor is easy to get off. On some motors you have to be a contortionist to get at them. Good luck, sounds like it's going to be classy when you are finished.
I got mine off "E" bay for £900 & after a lot of hard work it's looking good now. Got a "third best RRC" at the North-East All Rover Rally so the hard work is paying off.--Cogs
