Here is my story. I have recently acquired a 69B that has not driven on its own power for several years. The engine has run but the DPO had removed the master brake cylinder and never completed (or

Frank I would offer a few suggestions as far as doing your own pipes. Be sure to get a tubing bender. Pep Boys and Parts America both sell a nice one for about $10 dollars. You can use it with the li

The heat anneals the metal pipe or copper washers. The process of cutting the tubing and bending it into a flare seems to harden it a little. When doing this don't quence the pipe in water or it will

Not too sure I'd want to take the temper out of the steel brake line. Seems like it be prone to breakage due to vibreation, etc. A good, correctly aligned flare connection won't leak. Also, one must

I hope to be leak free from the start, if not??? As stated in my original post the DPO removed the master cylinder several years ago. I am doing a rather complete rebuild of the brake system (I like

I just purchased a 1977 MGB and while investigating a pull under braking, I discovered that the drivers rear line had been smashed leaving a nice crimp. I've been looking for the line and was about

I have a set of brake lines on my 73B in stainless steel from Classic Tube and Line. They are a bit pricey, but they fit perfectlyeven the one that snakes around the crossmember. Best of all, they w

Per the previous posts over the last few days, my vote would be to make you own. A 54" straight pipe with a bubble flare end will cost about $3.50. Another $10 for a line bender (which you will have
