making lhm pipe

Post by weety »

hi guys

does anyone know if its possible to buy a kit to make up lengths of lhm pipe (i assume that a normal brake pipe kit wouldnt be adequate)

Cheers

Presumably, as the independant Citroen specialist I use can make up pipes onsite.

GSF do sell the special joints/seals and pipe, and I believe you can still
buy the 3.5mm flaring tool as a bench/vice mounted die or a smaller hand
held one from Pleiades.

I believe that there is only the type A tool (3.5mm and 4.5mm) @ £56+VAT

That said, it appears there aren't any available at the moment but
they're in production but may be a while!

With some of the duff pipes I've seen on some Xantiae recently,
I'd recommend you get yourself sorted with one of these when they're
available again asap!!

Which 'indie' do you use? Has he an all round knowledge including V6?
Couldn't say. Not often I need to see him (once a year on average)
He is George Fraser in Sunderland.
If you want to pursue it go with caution, there are two. They are brothers, too, which adds to the confusion.
