What brake bits do I need please?
I am going to try to get my brakes done over the Christmas break. It will give me something to do in the sulking shed .
 All my bits are Sierra Sapphire 1.8 cvh with rear drums and I intend to use the original steel pipe size .Does anyone know what size pipe it is and what the threads are? Also if anyone has a list of the bits I need and approximate length of pipe that would be so helpful  I am going to get some braided flexi hoses made up --any recommendations for sourcing please? I think from reading previous posts I'll need these at 500mm approx. Thanks in advance.  Last edited by ayjay : 9th December 2011 at 03:47 PM.

For the flexi's, give Dave at Llama a shout, he's very good to deal with and the prices are good too....
http://www.llama4x4.com/ He'll make up any length ye need and does different colours..... As for the metal brake pipe its 3/16 and the ends are M10 x 1mm thread... Bertie.

Hi Jay,
Give these a thought Jay, as long as you put the ends on properly these Euroquip 600 pipe and fittings are good and work out pretty cheap: http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=85_248 AndyH

I built euroquip lines, found the bits cheaper than raldes.
Check out my website for a brief guide. The solid pipes use 10mm fittings. and 3/16 pipe (IIRC) TT

Just on the topic of braided hoses, can you run them straight from the bulkhead/bracket to the caliper or do you have to put another bracket in before the caliper (say on the rear hub carrier) as I see that people are welding plates to the rear carrier and then fixed tube to the caliper? Is this done on the front as well?
Sorry for the complicated and DA question but I can't see why you cant run straight from caliper to bulkhead/brack on the chassis..?
