CamRSA Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hey guys, again struggling to find a part. I can find it for most other models but most are pre-2000. Anyone know where I can get a replacement set? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Fleebay have plenty of full vehicle kits, they're usually decent components but not cheap... when I replaced mine I weighed up all the options and just went and bought some pipe, fittings and a flaring tool and did it myself. a fair but cheaper, and the tools alone have paid them selves over 100 times due to the amount I've used it on other projects and mates trucks.As for kits, I think these will probably do you...http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/35453/DA7418-COMPLETE-VEHICLE-BRAKE-PIPE-SET-DEFENDER-90-RHD.htmlhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Automec-Copper-Nickel-Brake-Pipe-Line-Kit-Land-Rover-Defender-90-RHD-DA7418-/201275717065?hash=item2edcf7b5c9:g:8XIAAOSwYHxWHj4D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should have specified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 This one looks to be for a 110. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Automec-Copper-Brake-Pipe-Set-Land-Rover-Defender-110-/230637319421?hash=item35b30e34fd:g:N2UAAOSwBahVDAQg The body type shouldn't have an effect on the pipework. This is assuming its not ABS. Might even be worth calling Automec the kit manufacturers. http://www.automec.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm with Maverik on this,the suggestion of buying a roll of pipe and doing it yourself. My experience of the ready made kits is that they don't seem to be exactly right.The last one I used was on a friends E- Type jag and we ended up altering several bits. The Automec specs in one of those ads say copper or copper / nickel, you need to know, the plain copper is fine for road cars but is too soft for an off roader.Sticks etc, getting flicked up under the car when off roading will soon wreck copper pipes,copper nickel is far better in this respect. I'd also spend a little more and use stainless steel fittings as the brass ones are very easy to round off when they are in tight situations,bearing in mind you are using open end or flare nut spanners at best.

CamRSA Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Bit of an odd reply: "Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately we do not have the specifications for your vehicle yet. However, we would like to be able to help you and would value your assistance in adding this model to our list of brake pipe sets. If you still have the original pipes on your vehicle and you are able to supply the specifications, we will need to know the locations, lengths and type & thread of the fittings required for each pipe in the system. We can offer you the complete set of brake pipes for a special price of £45 plus postage and VAT in exchange for the information. The average price of a brake pipe set is normally over £120. If you do not require the complete set, we are happy to supply any individual pipes to your pattern. Kind regards" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
