Where did you lads get your fittings from? I have a few but nowhere near enough to do all four corners.

you will need 8 male and possibly 2 female x female connectors.
That is for doing the backs the front pipes on mine a Grrrrrrr`s still looked like new so we left them alone.

I did consider brass fittings but looking at the price and the fact the steel ones should last a good few years thought better of it.
Pity you're not closer as I have enough left. Still, I suspect we'll do MrGorsky's once he's sorted his engine.

Cheers. All four discs and pads need doing so I may as well do the pipes as well.

A few years ago I'd have been just down the road. I lived on Clyde Road in Stanwell.

You will probably find the front are fine and leave well alone especially as the passenger side runs at the back of the engine along the bulkhead and looks a right pig .

Think outside, no box required.
I remeber the mechanic that did my my classic's brake lines..
Completely the wrong routing and he must of ended up with 6ft of spare line and instead of cutting it off, wrapped it around a wine bottle!
It had what looked like massive pig tails under the bonnet LOL
