About this deal

Thread the fitting onto the pipe and make sure it is the right way round before forming the flare........ this, so many times this. Here at LandyZone we have plenty of very knowledgable members so if you have any questions about your Land Rover or just want to connect with other Landy owners, you're in the right place. I have heard stories of copper not being suitable but all the local motor factors only sell copper and I've seen copper pipes fitted by garages. Overhaul all front and rear callipers, new seals and including painting of the calipers + new EBC pads.

i have always used copper and never had a problem as mentioned earlier as long as its secured properly and it is flared correctly i dont see a problem, its my guess that the pipes that fail have been damaged in some way when they were fitted. The cost difference is minimal and is a no brainer really, Volvo were the first to use it on production cars i believe. View under car with new Kunifer lines installed, routing around the suspension chassis mount was awkward but having the old lines as templates saved the day.

As for the longevity, too soon to say the copper lines on my engines have been on for years and 1000s of miles in harsher vibration and heat than id hope brake lines would suffer and ok - lasted longer than the commercially available steel ones.

You don’t have to own a car – all we ask is that you have an interest in hot rods and street rods.Ive been using a lot of cu-ni and copper to make oil feed lines lately cu-ni seems to work harden noticeably as you bend it starts off bending like copper and by the end of the bend it feels like steel. Each brake line to rear could not be removed in one piece, I worked out two cut points where needed. With patience they where removed to enable them to be used as templates for making new lines. I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the Brake Pipe Set for my Jensen C-V8 which I received today. I am very impressed with the quality of the goods and the speed of your service. Very refreshing these days!" D. Chapman In this category you can view our growing range of Performance Fuel Rails and kits to provide improved and increased fuel flow capacity.

That kit doesn't look the greatest quality. You want proper individual split dies rather than that rather ropey looking wing nut and bar affair. I taught myself pipe making. Practice makes perfect. Buy a range of end fittings, and through connectors. Also, practice double flares, and bubble flares... They come pre-bent, and fit very well with only minor tweeking. The longest tube (4-way to rear brakes) was bent in half with a large-large radius and was easily straightened. Joining the NSRA involves you in the UK’s National organisation for hot rods, street rods, and customs. My opinion is copper is OK and easy to flare , bend but needs plenty of supporting clips and if you need to repair / modify etc the brakes then be prepared to fit a new copper pipe at same time whereas Kunifer will probaly be reusable.Suitable for non-pressurised fuel pipe & for OE modifications or replacements on all types of brake & hydraulic lines

I can get 25 feet of copper on my way home from work tomorrow however if I go for Kunifer I've got to mess around with delivery which i'll miss then have to go & fetch it at the weekend. Searching online I’m thinking that buying a length of replacement brake pipe and the tools to bend/fit it is probably the best/cheapest option but can anyone recommend a decent pipe/supplier and also is this a sensible DIY option? After you've bought the flaring tool & pipe, make a few practice flares on short lengths of pipe to get the hang of it before you commit to flaring the end of the pipe you've spent time bending round the various "obstacles" under the car & then cut to the optimum length.

Here you can view our range of oil feed line kits, individual components and accessories suitable for use with turbo oil feed systems. Any advice or help given is actually based on having done the job, not read about doing it or Googling it. I've removed copper pipes off cars which I'd only fitted it a couple of years previously and aren't wasn't happy about reusing as they SEEMED to have aged or however you describe it. Although copper is readily available cheap, I wonder why maunufacturers don't use it as factory fitted. There must be a reason. i would rather pay more and do the job once, right, than find out it could have been done better once I've used copper. If you see what I mean.
