Afternoon all !
Holidays which equals = car fiddling time.
I'm in the middle of a long job with the front right wing off, replacing brake pipes and sorting caliper lift etc.
WRT Porsche 'orginal' ATE pipes, I've seen a previous post on making up pipes from this material so as to have an authentic under bonnet look.
Two questions spring to mind though:
1. How easy is this pipe to work with, not just the bending but more the end formation to allow a good seal (I only have Clarkes 'amateur' brake kit) ? In the past I've tried to no avail to form ends and failed with steel pipes
2. Is it possible to buy the black & light grey(maybe started white) protective covering sheath material ?
Yours
Chris
