corrosion

  1. Caliper pipe corroded

    I have MK1 Cupra R Brembo calipers. On one the metal pipe is corroded. I need to get a new one of these pipes or get a custom braided hose that would replace the metal pipe. I was looking at getting custom brake lines made but don't know what fittings I need on each side of the braided hoses.
