Morning all.
My brain cell has given up.
I need a complete set of single (?) Pipes for my s3 but have confused myself.
Do I buy a roll of pipe plus fittings and try and work out what to do?
Buy a "set" with fittings and work out how and where to bend them.
Or, buy all the pipes pre bent with fittings?

The latter actually seems the most logical as for some reason it's by far the cheapest. But, is that because it's manufactured by sh*t part?

I'm just after the main pipes from the master cylinder to each bracket next to each brake drum.
From there I was going to use braided SS hose and eventually do a front and rear disc conversion before getting back on the road.

It's just easier to run pipes now before I put the body back on.
Thank you for any help.
 
Buy a roll of pipe and fittings...use a piece of fencing wire and use to trace length of pipe needed on chassis...cut pipe to length clamp one end in vice other end in vicegrips hit vicegrips with hammer and pipe will magically be straight...add fittings flare ends and fit to chassis putting bends where you need to...thats how I did it recently...reports on here say not all pre-made pipes fit as are too long for a neat fit...
 
As above , I initially bought a roll of copper pipe was easy to bend but went green after a while, then got some copper nickel pipe 3/16” , I also bought a pack brass fittings in unf and metric , I think the metric ones go into the wheel cylinders , quite relaxing making your own and you can practice the ends before committing
 
I bought a pre made kit. Was actually very good but there were two of the pipes that were too long. Luckily our local garage are brilliant and shortened them a few inches while I waited and didn’t even charge.
 
If you have an 88 I did this for mine going to use
Nickel Kunifer Brake Line Pipe 25ft Roll 3/16''
