Currently in Nurioopta SA until monday and then working my way back to melbourne.
Problem
Did a RHS rear brake line on the birdsville track today, have crimped the flex pipe with vice grips for the temp repair but need to get my brakes right.
Will try locally friday morning to see if I can get one bent somewhere but failing that a second hand one will do the job
So if any member can come up with a second disco pipe please give me a call on

Try Triumph Rover Spares 08 9384 6933, 7 Magna Crt, Lonsdale. email : info@triumphroverspares.com.au web : www.triumphroverspares.com.au (http://www.triumphroverspares.com.au)
They are always wrecking.
Also one of the local brake specialists should be able to make one, even Pirtek or Enzed.
Cheers

pirtek and enzed wont do brake lines unless they are the hydraulic brake lines on things like excavators where the brakes are pulled off by hydraulics proper and not just normal brakefluid filled hydraulics like on a landy.

I've got one here Blaze, but as craig says, best bet is TRS, they'll have one for sure and fit it too(If you don't want to, after all you ARE on holidays:D)

thanks all
problem solved by the friendly staff at AUS Brake & Underbody in Gawler, Slipped it straight on the hoist and bent up a new one, bled the brakes all for the sum of $50.00. May still have a little air in them but can sort that out when I get home.

They will do them here in the west. ??
