The tubing is standard size, but the FITTINGS are in all likelihood metric thread / size. |
im fairly sure its copper pipe that the motor factors do it could be a mix tho.
i was wanting the stuff with the green coating but cant get that unless i order it in then aparently its a pig to shape.
pipes i have to replace is the run from the engine from the begining of chassie to rear to brake balance then over the rear diff to both hubs.
this is the pipe that is supplied over here.
Brake pipe tubing.
Supplied in 25 foot (7.6 metre) reels
in either copper-nickel or copper.
Both conform to BS2871.
other idear is to sleave it in a rubber tube to keep it dry.
