Title: brake pipes
Post by: malcmari on March 28, 2011, 02:01:23 PM

Just tried fitting a custom made set of copper brake pipes to suit a 126 but all of the 7 pipes were up to 15" too long which means I will now have to cut them all and get them re flared somewhere. The supplier Johnson's Car and Home Supplies from Cowdenbeath KY49SG would now seem to have gone off the Radar so beware if you come across them !

Hi

You live in Rugby, I am in Lutterworth.  Got my pipes done at Rugby Car and Commercial just off Somners Rd, did a great job.  Only thing is you have to take the original pipes so they can measure up!  Give them a try £6 - £12 a pipe!

Point Noted,

But on the plus side they are too long and not to short and with a flarin tool can make the adjustments, I supose it's down to how they are priced as I buy copper pipe on the roll and make my own
