Some suggestions please where to get brake pipes made up. I need to renew a non standard brake pipe between the master cylinder and the servo. One used to be able to go to a Motor Factors and they would make them up, but certainly my local one won't now for insurance reasons. So what does one do, it is not worth buying a kit for flaring the ends just for one pipe.
Suggestions please, Paul Kennedy

Re: SP Brake Pipes
Hi Paul,
I've got the flaring tool if you need it, but a shorter trip for you might be to give Robsport a call

They're just outside Royston, and they're well known Stag & Triumph workshops.
Hope that helps,
John

Re: SP Brake Pipes
Almost anything anyone does these days seems to have insurance implications, but my local village garage knocked one up for me while I waited. Any 'traditional' garage should have the pipe and flaring kit since it's a common MoT failure on older cars.

Re: SP Brake Pipes
Thank you all for your replies. John I shall try Robsport as not to far away. I did think about Brown and Gammons but I know they can be a bit expensive.

Re: SP Brake Pipes
I now usually make up my own replacement brake pipes and have a very simple, primitive, cheap & cheerful flaring tool, which does the job properly if the instructions are followed precisely! I buy lengths of Kunifer pipe from the usual suppliers, and before I obtained the flaring tool I cut and shaped length(s) of pipe, put the appropriate end fittings on and took them to my local garage, the one that does my MoTs, to have the ends flared.
Cheers
