How to make a brake pipes like a pro very easy !!

[@billywhizz98]

Great video and advice I bought some pipe and fittings when I did my brake servo on my escort just as well as it did what you did try them before you put them on the pipe as they where metric instead of imperial

[@RetroCarsReborn]

@william walker nice one yes had that problem on a fiesta once built it all came to fit it god damn imperial 🤣🤣

[@billywhizz98]

@@RetroCarsReborn what made it worse is when I went to the shop I gave them a couple of the ends of the pipe with the thread and told them is was an imperial threads for a classic car he put all the bits in a bag so I didn’t think to check it was only later on when I come to fit them realised they where the wrong size I ended up using the old ones

To measure how far out the copper pipe is to protrude, you're supposed to use the thickness of the collet as the measurement.

Older video, but still applicable. I use 1/4 in soft tubing to copy or design brake lines. It bends like a brake line and measures out pretty accurately. Totally agree with cut-to-fit brake/fuel lines vs. store bought run all over the place, poor appearance. I also make fuel lines with ANSI flares/fittings, using the Rigid flaring tool. Not affiliated. Perfect leak proof connections.

Thanks mate! Soon i'll need to do custom Brake lines for My '59 GMC & I can tell...no need to look for more data. This is a great video!

[@RetroCarsReborn]

Thank you very much glad it helped you out👍

[@Beardchanics]

Nice tutorial man, looks quite sharp when done and fresh!

[@RetroCarsReborn]

@beardchanics garage yes my friend and the massive ones that go from front to back are just as easy to do 👌 no doubt you will have to tackle one on your mx5 at some point the audi's will last forever 🤣🤣

[@vicdelange507]

Two important errors here. A female flame is formed by first creating a male, then changing dies and pushing the male in to become a concave (female) end. The way he formed it, the flange was only half as thick as it needed to be. By the way, this lad also needs a dearer/newer tool. That male end was ugly.

[@melvis2017]

Thanks for the great job very simple and easy appreciations. If you move the music from the video that will be so great to concentrate.🇩🇰👍👌

[@ChinonsoChukwuebuka]

Can someone please give me the nam that instrument thst was used to produce the pipes

[@ClearStreamsUK]

Cheers matey! I bought a kit of ebay...no instructions🙄

[@RetroCarsReborn]

Manufacturers like to do that it's like there new thing 👍

Use a string and measure the old pipe and then transfer that to the new pipe. The way he does it just isn't that accurate, IMO.

[@metalmicky]

Copper coated steel pipe, not pure copper.

[@Rick-Williams59]

Tell me that's not a pure copper line, and if it is, you're just using it for demonstration purposes only.

[@stevenprice2894]

Unfortunately the UK generally uses copper brake line. You can get copper nickel. It's just rarely used.

[@RetroCarsReborn]

Yes thay are but I do paint them when fitted 👌

[@dannyjackson915]

​@@RetroCarsReborn Hi what do you use to paint the pipes after???

[@RetroCarsReborn]

@@dannyjackson915 you can paint them with hammerite or spray them green like most manufacturers would of 👍

[@thurgogopro5338]

Would have.

[@bucklercarskarts2075]

You mention a male double flare but no information about when this, rather than single flare, should be used.
