Brake line recommendations

Post by SamT »

Can anyone recommend the most suitable full brake system replacement for a 83?

just Kampers have this kit -Copper Nickel Brakepipe Set for Righthand Drive VW T25 1982–1992 Dual Circuit £160.

Before I buy any other suggestions that may be cheaper or better?

Cheers

Sam

When I acquired my van yonks ago I twisted off a brake pipe trying to change a flexible. I got one made at our local garage on the quick but was horrified at the poor workmanship and that they supplied the wrong flair i.e. trumpet or doughnut. Cant remember which way or even the proper terminology :oops: .
But as I was on a mission to get away on holiday I bought a kit and coil of brake line and made it myself on the basis that I may have to do some more over time.
Could be an option if you are a bit handy with the tools and have an artistic flair :wink: .
