Hi,
Have just bought myself a flaring tool to repipe one of my BXs. Now I need to find some 3.5mm and 4.5mm Cunifer pipe along with unions (stainless I'm told are best) along with everything else I need (o-rings, seals etc). I'm not going to re-pipe the whole car, as some of the pipework is in good order but I might need to join to some existing ones (wonder if my flaring tool can do steel pipes? )
Any advice on what sort of bits I need and where to get them would be appreciated. So far all I've found is Cunifer in a reel - imperial sizes which aren't quite the same as the metric ones.
Thanks
Cunifer Pipe & unions.....where to get it all?

Hi Kitch,
This from xmexclusive over on club-XM.co.uk in answer to a very similar question...

My last lot of CuNic pipe and some seals came from Malcolm Lockwood.

Found him very helpful. Robert Smart recommended him.
His postage is much cheaper than Pliaedes fixed fee if you want a single roll or length of pipe.
Service was good and fast (48hrs).
