Default Making Hard brake lines

I'm after someone who can make or a supplier of a kit that makes hard brake lines. I can't seem to find a supplier or dealer anywhere other than in the states.
Mine at the rear are pretty crusty at the connection points to the flexible lines and at the square inline joiner under the right rear side of the car. There only small lengths so not hard to get too and there not leaking I just don't like the look of them.


The fronts will also need the same small sections doing, I'm guessing from the wheel arch back to the abs unit. Passenger to abs being the longest run I guess.


Does it have to be in hard pipe or is there a flexible'ish version of pipe out nowadays??

Std copper brake line which you can bend yourself should be fine.

Have you got a link Chris to where you can get it. Does it come with all the nuts and bits to flare the ends?

What about covering the copper, does it have a sleeve to protect it?

doesn't require anything to cover it and will be less susceptible to corrosion that the steel OEM lines...................

most garages that do MOT work will be able to supply and install as required
