    Rimmer Bros Brake kit question

    Hi All

    I want to replace all my brake pipes and want to know if the Rimmer Bros product from the UK is what I should be ordering, or does anyone know of another supplier who can supply me the full brake pipe kit all the way from the brakes to the master cylinder

    I have a 1977 S3 SWB RHD 2.25 Petrol Landy

    Thanks

    Craig

    Be aware that in Australia a roadworthy inspector may reject copper or copper nickel brake pipes.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    No, straight copper is out. The copper/nickel alloy ones are the go. There has been some debate about this recently on another thread but I think the copper nickel alloy is okay.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I purchased a roll of Copper-Nickel tube branded as brake tube from my local BrakePro in Nowra, however since that time I was informed by a NSW Blue Slip Inspector that any form of copper is not acceptable.

    Whether its after a particular date I'm not sure. It's just a warning that there may be problems.

    For the defender I'm going to play it safe and purchase lengths of bundy tube for the job.

    Yes you can buy them from most specialist brake services.

    Be aware that most modern Land Rovers will have metric flare nuts, while most SIII will have UNF so be carefull the new ones match the ones you are removing.

    Also Land Rovers use a double flare on the brake pipe.
