Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was just replacing my caliper afierce fitting new discs... and errrm I it fell off... :sad: the metal line snapped.. it was heavily corroded so I would have needed to replace soon anyway.. but I wasn't planning on doing it now.. :sad:
So.. has anyone bought any brake lines recently? Where's the best place to buy them?
Thanks
Dead easy to make your own and will cost you pennies. Have a look in my boxster thread in my sig, i'm sure I make some in that.
Anyway, any motor factors will sell you 10m of copper brake line, a bunch of ferrules and a tool to flare the edges. I quite like making brake lines actually.. I just stand there daydreaming whilst doing it...
:thumb:
Thanks Ragpicker
I do seem to remember seeing you making some on your Boxster thread.. I shall indeed look into it.. I think I may need to concentrate whilst doing it :lol: :thumb:
Is it the hard lines on the body or the short line from the flexi to caliper? If it's the short one, you can by these pre made from OPC or Design911. Only cost 20 quid tops
Cunifer......... Corrosion proof, not as soft (hence harder to form curves etc) as copper. Though better than copper as that does corrode too. Looks better quality than copper as well I think.
Ragpicker that is very very generous of you.. :thumbs: alas I've just ordered a pair of them online about 20mins ago..
Because it's my daily I chickened out on the diy front... but I do plan to use the approach on various other pipes when I'm not so limited on time
Yes I was surprised how cheap they were... unlike a lot of the other pipes.. flare spanner I've been reading about them and was pleasantly surprised halfords sell them for about a fiver :thumb:
Sadly my parts haven't arrived yet.. Bank holiday post I guess. So I'm sat twiddling my thumbs..
I have seen the sealey brake bleeder I think I'm going to get one.. they do look very good :thumb:
