I was just looking at the pipes as i still have them , the small ones i could do ready bent but the long ones would have to be sent as a coil with ends done ready to fit.
i will look in to it :)
Did you make the new ones out of copper or steel? Can't tell from the pic.
 
Pulled out of the front seats and left it at the shop to get new covers and stuff. Got lucky with the sound deadening, ordered enough without measuring first!
 
i dont mind making them up for you and giving a hand its the bleeding i am more concerned about, on mine i made a couple of blanks which i swapped quick so i lost very little ran all the new stuff then did a quick swap over and let it gravity bleed so the block should be air free and easier to do the rave bit.

Cheers. I've got the bits in the garage. Just need to find the time. Got a week off now but so many other jobs to do first.
 
I was bored earlier

This is why you change the brake pipes on a p38, mind I did mine with out dropping the fuel tank as mine run over the rear cross member.View attachment 209207 View attachment 209208
I replaced all mine last year and making the pipes up us a piece of p###. Just buy a roll of pipe, (good quality copper will do. All this crap about copper pipes "bursting" or "exploding"..scare mongering. Someone find me a pipe that actually has.!), a packet of fittings and follow the pattern of each one as you take them off. A flare tool is a few quid off the bay and just do it.! Practicing making the flares is worth it and you might waste a couple if feet of pipe learning, but well worth the practice. As for the one over the rear cross member, as good as you make it to pattern, by the time it's threaded through it looks like a ball of string at the other end so prepare for a few scraped knuckles trying to straighten it out and push it back into the clips. But otherwise...just do it.!

The problem with copper is that over time it work hardens where it flexes on bends for example leading to cracking. Probably last longer than the crap steel Land Rover use though.

Agree with that, but by the time the copper has 'failed' after a refit, the truck's probably dissolved around it anyway.
