morning everyone,

i bought the atomec brake pipe set for the series 2 and am wondering if anyone knows where i could get the pipes from the reservoir to the master clutch/brake cylinders and the pipe from the master brake cylinder to the brake junction down on the chassis?

cheer for your time help

My series 3 kit came with all the pipes needed.... maybe check the packing list to see they didn't miss them out?

Otherwise a brake shop can make up pipes for you - you just have to bend them up.

will check the package again,

i already got my local brake line shop to make some up. Charged me 160 for three brake lines and the pipe from the reservoir to the master brake cylinder leaked between the pipe and the nut.

I am not sure if there other two will leak as we quickly removed the brake fluid before it had a chance to get on the paintwork :D

Yea I had clutch lines made up.... that wasn't cheap either. Can't you take the leaky one back?

gday josh,

will have a look, as i may have them or i could make them up for you as i've replace all mine on a series 3 that i have rebuilt. i made them up my-self as i can make the double flares that are required. might even have some brake line left, would be the fitting i'll have to check on. i'll be-intouch. cheers wally

Where would be the best place to buy the fittings for my brake pipes that go from the reservoir the master Brake and Master clutch cylinders and from the Master brake cylinder to the junction on the chassis??

My local brake shop guy/muppet told me he reused my old ones because he couldn't get new fittings.

Cheers again for your time everyone

I purchased all the brake "bundy" tube from ebay, the pipe was 3/16 and the unions were 3/8 unf I spent under $60 for all the materials but I needed to get the tools and they were under $80. Since then I have made up lots of lines, not just for myself.
