Either Chevronics, or getting Pleiades or Euro Car Care to make the pipe for you out of cuni pipe and stainless ends at 36p per centimetre could be a better bet than borrowing my flaring tool, buying the pipe, ends and seals, flaring it and fitting it? Then again, you'd get most of your money back on my flaring tool so it's not really lost money, just deferred. But the offer stands if you want a loan of it, or if you want to buy a turnkey solution,

Euro car care are brilliant. They are the people that had some pattern strut tops in. I think it was last year. They could have ripped me off easily. I found them to be honest and incredible. May well have done a post on here about it.
However, £36/metre ain’t cheap. It’s the right money for the work involved maybe but it ain’t cheap. I’ll give them a call today and maybe see if they have cunifer in stock for sale as I am increasingly thinking your tool is the best and cheapest option for me at present.
Also, the rear offside brake pipe according to the parts fiche is 2323mm!!!! which is wider than the car. Can’t say I paid forensic detail to the pipe layout yesterday but I was pretty sure it comes back to a K connector….
The car is now 15 miles away at a mate’s garage with a domestic waist high ramp setup. I’ll ask my mate to send me a photo. I should have taken one yesterday when it was having its MOT.
I’ll have a cuppa, do some more research and PM you my number, Jay.
Do you have a 4” x 6” label printer by any chance? If you want I can book the label through our business and send you the PDF with tracking. I can book any Royal Mail fully tracked service. Tracked 48 or Tracked 24 are £3.35 or £4.45 respectively which includes £100 insurance. Label visibly has the tracking number on and you can verify that by typing it in before you stick the label on and post (assuming you are happy to do that and I choose to go the tool loan way which I think is highly likely now with my doubts about me not paying more attention to the pipe layout yesterday and also may well end up doing the 5 pipes across the bulkhead too - as when I did the clutch I was too lazy and careless to mop up the spilled brake fluid which has destroyed the coating on those pipes!)
Apologies for the long post!
, can you please tell me which diagram you are referring to in the thread linked above as I have provided quite a few and I have already provided Header names for each of them? Better still, locate the relevant post in that thread and quote the post where I have provided the diagram, so I know which number (8).
