Ooh very tidy indeed Rikky. Only issue I'd have is that I fill the boot with tools and spares on trackdays, so I'd have to make sure there weren't any lines left exposed.

Did you make the lines up yourself of get them made?

And can someone who knows (as it seems to be a discussion point) tell me what the practical differences are between brass, stainless and galvanised fittings?

Nice one Swampster.

I think mine were brass, but I've only used them for a bit of external stuff, I assumed it might be different for internal braided stainless stuff.

the touring cars use steel pipework funnily enough

i still have a 20mtr roll of brake pipe actually and 50x male and 50x female unions all bagged up

I must admit after seeing Pauls car today I am liking the idea of braided hoses throughout

They are easy to make your self but i would only use stainless steel fittings on braided brake lines.

Never Use Aluminium Fittings On Braking Systems
Some people sell aluminium brake line fittings for brake hoses. Not only is this a dangerous practice but you will also notice that they are normally sold with a 'for race use only' label as a possible legal get out clause for the company involved.
Never use aluminium fittings on brake lines - Why? When two metals with different electromotive force are placed together and are subjected to an electrically conductive fluid, 'electrolytic' corrosion takes place.

Electrolytic corrosion works on the same principles as a battery. Two metals, an anode and a cathode, are placed in fluid and an electrical reaction takes place which results in the softer metal being eroded due to electrolytic corrosion. Once these conditions are met, a "corrosion cell" is created, an electrical current will flow and metal will be consumed at the anode. The only way to remove this corrosion is by using metals of the same electromotive force (EMF).

Costs a bit more but it is worth it in the long run.

This does not only apply to brake lines any types of disimilar metals that have direct contact with each other cause corrosion! Fact!

you are looking at £6 a meter for the teflon line
iv found a few different prices for the fittings on average your looking at £6 for a straight fitting, £7 for 45,75,90 degree ones, £15 for t-piece.

Ptfe fittings come with the olive's, all you do is seperate the fitting in half, place the none threaded end over the line, place the olive on the end of the line and then do the threaded end up, this makes the teflon inner line expand over the olive and seals it.
Easy

Its an-3 pipe which is 3/16th and you will need adaptors fron an3 fitting to 10mm for calipers and mc!

Trying to get a price to do the full kit atm and im also going to see how much swampy will want.

What about ally brake calipers or is the mass enough to stop this?

Swampy the prices are for stainless it's an American company I found for those prices, not including delivery but I'm sure I can find a company in the uk!
I was surprised at those priced as I paid £12-18 from thinkautomotive for fittings for my fuel lines

Got that the wrong way round ally is +1.66 volts and steel is -0.34 volts! Just spoke to a mate of mine regarding alloy cslopers and steel fittings, he explained how the mass of the caliper will over power the voltage from the steel fitting however you might over time still get corrosion on the caliper, away around this is to use ptfe tape on the male to male fitting between the caliper and line!
I have seen first hand proof of such corrosion on aircraft however you can not always prevent it from happening just give both materials a good clean every now and then.

Sorry for spelling mistakes, using my phone now and it's a mission! X :-)
