Title: brake lines from abs/master cylinder to brake hoses!
Post by: robo22sri on 22 July 2012, 11:12
Guys i need some help!

I tried to replace my braided hoses for my hi spec brakes yesterday because the drives side hose has split :(

All was going great until trying to get the hoses off from the union on the copper work!

I now need a new copper line from the cylinder to the body union

Does anyone have a part number or breaking a mk3 near basildon essex or sittingbourne kent?

just some random pics but its all the same stuff on most cars, depending how much you need you could probably buy a length of it with the connectors fitted and shape it yourself I dont think its very expensive most motorfactors should supply it :)
