brake pipes

[oakley]

Anyone had any problems with their brake pipes? Just been told mine are rotted through and on the brink of disintegrating any second..Kinda worrying!! Just wondered wot sort of price u guys have paid if they've been replaced.my garage reckon about £1 a foot but a couple of hours work so about £80..this seem fair? They did say theyd re-route though as tey didnt wanna take the tank out of it....Just checking this wont cause any probs..cant see that it would??......

Do you mean the hardlines or the softlines? The softlines are pretty cheap, and also pretty easy to replace. It took me about 30 minutes to replace all of my softlines with stainless steal lines.

I think you can buy the hardlines pre bent and ready to go from the dealer..

the brake pipes NOT the hoses..everywhere seems to think its a better idea to replace them with copper to prevent em just rusting over again..
