Fittings are 1.0mm x 10mm, couldn't tell you the total length, will have to get a piece of string and tape measure out

Would they be with pipes for replacing pretty much all the standard brake pipes on the car? with the exception of the flexi bits?

If so I would be interested to know if you can find out what length they all are as I'm thinking of replacing them all on the hybrid over the summer.

Get a big role of copper pipe, cheap enough, and easy enough to get hold of should you need any more.

If you are doing it yourself don't forget to allow for wastage for the bits you **** up

Yeah I think I will look into doing that over the summer. I've never done much with the brake lines tbh but can't see it being too difficult.

If you were to get all the bits yourself has anyone got any idea what sort of price you would be looking at in total?

Don't need a bander, its soft enough to be bent by hand, i used a hacksaw ad a fine file, on my penknife for cutting and de-buring, 3/16" rings a bell, but its just std car stuff, ends i got from local car shop for pence each

kits are good valve there i think...

as the flaring tools aren't usually cheap..bewnding tools ok if you need over 90 degree bends..pipe cutter means you get clean 90 degree perfect ends to flare every time..

cool i will ad a kit on my list of prts for when i plumb a bias lalve in
