Cupra Copper Nickel Brake pipe?

[chrisbond69]

Ive gone to fit the brake pipe on my ibiza and the nuts rounded off the connection is so badly corroded that i need to buy new pipe and end nuts can someone tell me the size of the nuts and pipes i need to buy for my car and where you suggest getting good quality products from

thanks

Why do you need new pipes? I have just cut mine off and I am going to reform the ends with new nuts.

just thought id make the new ones up considering the pipes only about 15 pound for three lines, if your making yours up could you tell me what size nuts and the pipe size of origionals please,

(M10) for the most and a couple of (M12) for the pipes from the master cyl to abs from memory

standard 3/16" (4.75mm) pipe

will try to but have snooker match on so if i do it means i lost badly

the nickel plated pipe is more durable (years lasting) but looks dull due to it's coating and the standard stuff looks 'nicer' if laid out clean and true

knowing how clean your truck is gonna be maybe a thought or two to getting steel or polished lines ?

and if you 'really' want ott i have larger bore sizes and fittings that may be useful for fuel pipe etc but i'm not so sure it's coated and useable with fuel

 

[chrisbond69]

steel or polished brake lines? not heard of them can you get them?

 

[chrisbond69]

DO you know if its a m10 short or m10 long we need as cant tell due to them being siezed
