Isn't there someone close by with a pipe bender and a flaring tool?

If not for the price of buying a ready made pipe you could probably buy the flaring tools, connectors, and 30ft of pipe! If you use Kunifer you can carefully bend it by hand and do not need a pipe bender.

I noticed my brakes were shot, thought from lack of use as its been laid up for a while , but no , leaking caliper,, look at the state of those pads!

So, I need a couple of calipers and a set of pads, anyone know the Pt Numbers? single pipe, four piston, multi spline bolts.View attachment 157372 View attachment 157373

ifthey were 90 calipers it would be rtc4998 or if disco/rrc it would have to be stc1962

Thanks James, ordered the bits up today. I have a flaring tool guys but a 25 meter roll of brake pipe to make two 6'' pipes really isnt worth it, its much much cheaper to buy them ready made..

Guys, silly question, but which way around? Bleed nipple at top (road spring side) or bottom ( closest the road ), I only ask because the pipes I got dont fit and I wonder if the calipers that were on there already were put on the wrong hand around.

to the top

And the pipe to the bottom?, looks like they were in there the wrong way around to begin with, thanks James, greatly appreciated.
