Brake line markings
Poorscousertommy - 14/9/12 at 09:32 AM

Quick question for the collective wisdom...

My manufacturer supplied brake lines are incorrect lengths (or my routing is wrong!)..

I therefore decided to make my own, and purchased a roll of kunifer off fleabay - however my copper lines are BS marked, while the kunifer pipe isnt..

Is this going to be an issue for mr IVA? Should i just use the Kunifer to practice my flaring or is it good to go on the car?

Advice appreciated.

Cheers folks

The BS number is just a standard for industral/general use.

I would take the easy route and make the longer lengths of pipe run in two sections with a joiner. Use a proper joiner fitting which can be found in either a female joiner for male to male or a male joiner for female to female joints.

If you make the long pipe in two sections it makes fitting and maintenance easier and you can shorten and re-use the pre-made pipe you were sold.
