Yea, copper brake line....... that's actually illegal. I found that out with my S11a years ago, the reasoning is that when the copper is exposed to really cold temps and then is heated up from braking, this tempers the pipe ever so slightly, combine this over say ten-even fifteen years and the lines crack causin brake failure. I know I know, I was just as sinical as you guys about this but.......my clutch line was made of copper and it actually fractured at the flare causing me to loose all my clutch fluid. Wether it was the result of long time tempering or the vibration of a LR who knows.

Copper work hardens when it flexes or vibrates after a while causing fractures, Regards Frank.

Just out of interest how well does the front dislocate ? I have never had any real success with mine ? Did you replace any of your bush's ? I am looking at changing to a bigger lift coil as well ............... But then I have to do the whole shock change again
My rear works really well and I have never had any problem with the brake lines !

Are you going to replace your front radius arms to Scorpion ones ?

Cheers

So i got my self some steel rims last week with some Monoform MT tyres on.
so i just need to save up some penys to get some good rubber on them, and i can keep AT on my mags.

Last trip,(harvey) i got told about a motor trimmer that can do the roof lining for $250, so im looking into that.

but at the moment iv got a coolant leak (radiator) so im going to jump on that!!
