FAQ

How can I find out where the pipes go on my vehicle?

We include a numbered list of pipe locations with every set. You can also find a link to this here: Pipe Location Key

What is the difference between Copper and Copper Nickel brake pipe tubing?

Other than the colour, very little! Copper is more malleable and can be considered slightly easier to work with. All our left-hand drive kits are supplied in copper-nickel to accommodate the requirements of the German TUV.

Why do I have more pipes in my set than appears to be required for my vehicle?

You may have more pipes than you need in your set as we sometimes include these to accommodate different variations on your type of vehicle.

How can I spot whether a union is imperial or metric?

Our metric unions have a nick in the hex for identification.

What is the best way to fit my Brake Pipe Set?

Keep everything as clean as possible. Do not overtighten the unions. Secure the pipes properly to prevent vibration using the clips supplied to supplement those you already have on the car. When you have fitted all the pipes, filled and bled the system, recheck each union and make sure you have a firm pedal before taking the vehicle onto the road. 

Why do all of your pipes use universal flares?

Universal flares are deliberately used in every instance to be sure of giving you the safest connection possible.

What is included in the Brake Pipe Set?

Brake system pressure pipes and fixing clips are included in the brake pipe set. Brass in-line connectors may be supplied where appropriate.

24th Feb 2020   -   "Through an unofficial reseller here in France I bought one of your brake pipe kits, which was unfortunately not complete. Dan from your support team took the time to sort out the problem and sent me the missing pipe. I was impressed by the quality of your product and I am even more impressed by the quality of your customer service." Fabrice F. Nantes

"Just a little note to express my satisfaction regarding your supply of a complete brake line set for my Fiat 500. The lines went in easily, bent nicely into shape and the dimensions were exact. Little extras, highly appreciated: nice box containing the parts, protective caps, each line individually marked and using the number scheme made identification a breeze. To anyone requiring brake lines I will definitely recommend Automec." Mr. H Van Triest
