|
|
Hey guys, I need to replace some copper brake lines on my bus for the mot so going to order a roll of tube and some fittings and do it myself. Does anyone know what thread/size the unions are as standard?
I'm currently looking at this kit: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262085511597&alt=web
Any help would be appreciated |

You will need to get a flaring tool to do brake lines (apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs!) |

Not sure how much you know, but it's best to cut the pipe slightly longer than standard, just in case you make a mistake with the flare tool _________________ 2nd gear low and go go go!
