	its not a "random bit of copper pipe" its a copper brake pipe just as good as what vaux sell if fitted correctly for a fraction of the cost!

	That is a new copper pipe that I fitted a few weeks ago. But like I said its leaking one side, will try tightening the nut up tommorow and see if it stops.

	the copper pipe in that picture is a metal pipe as std. You could convert it to a rubber pipe but i fail to see what advantage you would get, apart from having hassle getting it to stay in position. If you want a new copper pipe then take that one off take it to any garage and ask them to make you up a straight pipe either that length or slightly longer then bend it to shape yourself. Any garage (certainly anywhere that does mots) will have a flaring tool for doing the brake pipes. Ainsley

	Dunno if i'm being dense, but all the rear brake hoses seem to short.. i've got the shitty copper pipes at the moment which are leaking a treat. Do they fit onto the yellow end or where the actual copper pipe is at the moment? :boggle: Cheers :thumbs:
