OK, ...forgive me but


If you are trying to borrow things for this car, can I ask why you have it on EBay for sale close tomorrow ?

Just wondering.....and please forgive me if I am being overly "street-smart"

although i dealt direct with them directly over the phone, also had the 6.35 die set included for a small extra charge,

this company are based in Coventry, likewise the manufacturer of this kit also

Wrights are an excellent company to deal with

I'm sure I've seen somewhere on FCF that the Xantia has some special or metric pipe ends, so I'd research this to make sure any tool you get can do what you want.

I hope Citronut or the Karate Kid will be along with any pertinent details

I think that's a cue to change my username Martin :lol: :lol:

As far as I know, the special metric flares are only on the front brake lines between the ABS block and the front brake flexi hoses.....

Everything at the rear is all standard Citroen flares on 3.5mm pipe and a little bit of 4.5mm pipe..

I should say that if you bought one then the chances are you could sell it on here when you are done for a reasonable sum...
