While refitting my new clutch master cylinder i've managed to round off the nut that holds the flared pipe into the master cylinder. I've got the small pipe section off the car. But no one locally seems to be able to help. Can anyone tell me where i can get that small section of pipe complete with flares and the nuts either end?

If you are STUCK have you considered filing six new flats on the rounded off pipe union, next spanner size down?

Once it's on and tight you can worry about it next time you need a new cylinder or have more time to source a one.

Failing all the abouve, you can get a pipe flaring tool, all the pipe you would want, and premade fittings in a variety of sizes, in most decent motor factors. (Not so sure about hellfrauds though)
