Brake pipe repair.

[Stivino]

Since I can't go very far, I decided to repair my rear brake pipes yesterday.

Very good! Which flaring tool did you use?

[Stivino]

I used the big Sykes Pickavant tool to make the short pipe and the small flaring tool to flare the pipe on the car.

Nice work! At least when things return to normality your car will be ready to go 😀

Great job Stephen 👏. That’s a pretty big sharp bend, did it bend naturally without kinking or did you have to use a device like a spring or bending wheel??. Interesting to know.

[Stivino]

I've got a wee device that I made up.

Basically, I bent it round a small socket using my hands.

I'll try to put up a picture of said device, it's a very simple thing.

how much did the tools/material cost?

[Stivino]

I can't remember as I've had them for so long.

I've not used them for a long time.

I had a piece of brake pipe in the shed so, I didn't have to buy that either.

Ends are about 15p each in a motor factor.

Do you need pipes?

I think he has the same issue you did, rusted break lines at the ends.

That's the piece of pipe that failed on mine,id urge  owners to get them checked out ,its the piece behind the anti splash matting right?

[Stivino]

Yes, just in front of the rear wheel.

The pipe is very cheap.  The cost of repair will depend on your repairers labour rate (cost per hour). Its not a major job. You will also need to bleed the brakes.
