Does anyone know if these are available from Renault? I cant find the part numbers?

I've enquired with countless people for used items with no joy. This could be a real sticking point on 360's rebuild at this rate!

Never have been available, all renault will sell you is a roll of copper brake pipe

have a look on the French ebay.. there are loads of sections on there... but would be very hard to get here in one piece and not bent..
or just get some new pipe and spray/wrap it green..

Green are cheap, shit & nasty. If you came to buy my car & complained that the brake pipes were copper instead of the steel I'd bitchslap you into the middle of next week.

I'd also never trust 20 year old used steel brake pipes, it's just asking for trouble, they corrode & fail

Yep, I've seen those on French eBay and had the same thoughts, they'd never get here intact.

Paddy, I wouldn't consider even dreaming about going to view a car without first confirming if it had green steel brake pipes, therefore you would have to make do with berating me over the phone.

It looks like I'll be making some cupro-nickel brake lines up....then painting the friggers green!
