Where can i get new brake lines from?

[matlee]

For a 1994 Eunos. I've tried knocking up my own but havent managed a successful flare yet so gona bite the bullet and buy replacement lines. Im not after the flexi lines, i need the rigid pipes that run from front to back+the one that runs across the rear subfram+the front rigids that run to the front flexis. I know i can get brand new ones from mazda but they seem pretty expensive. Im not fussed whether they are new or used just on good condition. Ive tried google but all that seems to come up are replacement flexis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matt,

Brake pipes are usually made up like you've already tried. It requires a special tool to flare the ends. Do you have this?

ETA...

It sound like your project is coming along well, any chance of some pics or are you waiting until it's finished?

Ive got a flaring tool, although its very cheap one. I managed to snap the die/insert earlier which resulted in the whole thing being thrown across the garage! I think i'll pay a visit to the local motorfactors tomorrow to see if they can knock something up.

Work has been hectic the last 9 weeks so havent had a chance to do anything on it until the last few days. After getting it to start i became a bit over confident and started snipping away at redundant connectors, the car now doesnt start! Electrics arent my strong point so to save me the hassle ive got a replacement loom on order. All thats left really is to sort out the electrics, brakes and bodywork. Im still undecided on rear light set up and exhaust set up (thinking of doing a twin motorbike silencer at the rear). Hopefully the next couple of weeks will see it there abouts finished.

As for pics, the only exciting ones lately is my newly covered floor and carbon (vinyl) wrapped transmission tunnel

[J.P.W.]

MX5parts.co.uk do a full set of copper pipes, pre-cut and flared. About 50 quid IIRC but do check the price as I may have over or under estimated! Easy to bend by hand (be careful not to kink them but really they are pretty handy to work with).
