TJN Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 So just changed both swivels, CV joints and wheel bearings and all went fine but as I put the brake caliper back on the line that goes from the flexi hose to the caliper developed a hole in it. Anyone any ideas where I can get a replacement on monday in the Winchester/Basingstoke area? Thanks for any ideas. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 On a bank holiday you are going to be very lucky to find any garage that's open that would make one for you. Don't you know anyone near you that has a flaring kit? You are about 50-miles from me. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJN Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Yeah think I may have to wait until tuesday which is a pain as I wanted to test drive the truck having just done all that work to it. Wondering if there is a motor factors open that would have a flaring kit for sale..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 If Uncle Les can't help you, then i've got a good second hand one here, N/S (although with some gentle bending it would fit t'other side) If Les is ~50 miles, then i'm about ~54 miles! (J16 M4) Stick a few quid in the forum coffee swindle and it's yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintman Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 And I would suggest a very good look at the other brake pipes on the vehicle whilst you are at it. If one has corroded to that extent you can bet the others may not be far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJN Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for the offers guys. New pipes purchased and will change them tomorrow evening. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
