Brake Pipe connector block.

[Richard 858]

Chaps, I keep thinking (and keep telling SWMBO) that I'm approaching the end of my upgrades only to be beaten back time after time.

This time I have a dodgy thread in the brake pipe connector block which sits in the upper left drivers footwell. To remove it I also had a completely seized clutch fluid pipe (on the engine bay side) which I've had to saw off to remove the block. As I don't want to piss about building up, drilling & tapping the old block could anyone tell me where to get a new one, I'll also need a new clutch pipe fitting and don't know the size (been caught out assuming before that if one end is imperial / metric the other end must be!).

Any help as ever appreciated.

Thanks very much Kris, I'll order from Racetech Direct asap. I've also checked the clutch pipe and I agree at 1/4", mine currently has 2 coils formed just before slave cylinder, is this standard practice or just to use up excess pipe ? If the latter then I'll just need to get a union and flare a new end.

The coils are to give the pipe a bit of flex capability.

I`ve swopped it out for a proper braided flexi pipe.

Thanks, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get you flexi from ?
