Joining the NSRA involves you in the UK’s National organisation for hot rods, street rods, and customs. 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. Any advice or help given is actually based on having done the job, not read about doing it or Googling it. The cost difference is minimal and is a no brainer really, Volvo were the first to use it on production cars i believe.

I've got one of those tools that Bearman and Steve have linked to. Mine is called a "powerhand", despite it sounding like an elabourate w king machine its sole purpose is making flares, and tight spaces if needs be! I've got the metric DIN version. Our brake pipe sets are assembled with pride for your specific vehicle.Each pipe is cut to the correct length, fitted with solid brass unions and marked clearly to indicate the correct location on the vehicle. My point was that there are known failures with copper but not with Kunifer and Kunifer is only a few pounds more so why take the chance !!! to put it in perspective when I went to start on the brakes for the roadster 3 or so months ago I went round the big 4 or 5 motor factors (some of which are nationwide motor factors) in dundee and not 1 of them sold kunifer, they all said they havent seen it for at least 10 years or so - that means that any second car in and around the dundee area that has had brakes pipes done in 10 years or so has likely to have had copper pipes put on. 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.I also use one of these 'power hand' type kits. Should have bought one years ago rather than struggle with one of the crappy scissor clamp types in the OP! We typically aim to manufacturer and deliver your complete brake pipe set to your door within 2 working days to the UK 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. The pipe set received today for the DB2 will fit perfectly. Thank you for the speed, efficiency and courtesy of your service." Yours sincerely, P. Livemore

I'm going for braided hoses where movement is needed, which is only from the inner wing to the suspension struts at the front and then a 3rd to the rear axle, the rest is to be solid pipes. of the things on my “to do” list before the next MOT is to replace the rear brake pipes, one of which is corroded and has been covered (flagged on the last 2 MOTs) and has been in that state since I bought it. brake light Decals - please PM for info. (Availabily - Z3 Pre Face Lift 7, Z3 Face Lift 1, Z4 E85 8, Z4 E89 4, Window 1.) Just a little note to express my satisfaction regarding your supply of a complete brake line set for my Fiat 500. The lines went in easily, bent nicely into shape and the dimensions were exact. Little extras, highly appreciated: nice box containing the parts, protective caps, each line individually marked and using the number scheme made identification a breeze. To anyone requiring brake lines I will definitely recommend Automec." Mr. H Van TriestSearching 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? Bienvenue Willkommen Bienvenido Benvenuto Welkom أهلًا وسهلًا Witamy Velkommen Прошу Velkominn Bem-vindo Καλώς ήρθες Välkommen ようこそTervetuloa Добре дошъл Bun venit 환영 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. Rubber brake pipes are not very effective in handling wear and tear. Even steel brake pipe’s polish is affected by grime and road salt, which can puncture them. That’s where the Kunifer brake pipe stands out. It offers a much longer life span and also offers significant protection against wear and tear. 4-Affordable

Company fitted brake pipes can be standard stainless steel or rubber made. Over time stainless steel brake pipes may face corrosion and need replacement, and rubber pipes may be cheap but are also prone to break. Thus, it’s crucial to find a brake pipe material that can last long without needing frequent repair and breakdowns. Kunifer brake pipes solve these very problems. They are reliable, more corrosion protected and less prone to breakages. Here’s why auto experts love Kunifer Brake Pipes and why you should choose it too: 1-Flexible 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. In this category you can view our growing range of Performance Fuel Rails and kits to provide improved and increased fuel flow capacity. I restored a Triumph Herald 19 years ago and fitted your pipes and silicone fluid, I have not needed to touch them at all in all this time, I must say excellent products. Once again thank you for your help." Regards, Craig 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.
