I used 3/16 pipe, seems spot on  Pretty sure 10mm rings a bell as well, but I just got whatever Unipart gave me, seemed to be pretty standard. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Might be worth checking with Peugeot as when I replaced the rear lines a few years back they still supplied the steel lines pre-shaped and ready to go. Front ones were bend it yourself copper though.Surprisingly they were reasonably priced too. ________________________________________ Rich |

You will need male and female ends.And get / borrow a decent flare tool as the cheap ones are crap. A hand held pipe bender helps aswell |

Peugeot still do the rear brake lines ready made for around £7 (prices might have gone up a bit) |

Does anyone have a diagram? I am interested in the price of the one which runs in front of the spare wheel on the body. Would be good to get a new steel one.________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Just replaced this on mine, it's a copper bend-it-yourself one. Runs all the way from the front of the car to the back, round the fuel tank and above the rear beam. And is a real pain in the arse to fit! |

And is a real pain in the arse to fit! Can't be any worse than the Rover one I had to fit to my ex's coupe. What a f**king nightmare that was. I have to replace my hdi rear pipes as one or two are picking up advisories on MOT for corrosion. Can't complain given the mileage it's done and the winters it's seen. I understand I need 3/16" pipe (kunifer seems to be better), M10x1 unions and a flaring tool. Hand held pipe bender optional. Yes? ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Pretty much, and yes, go with knunifer over copper, unless your flaring tool is a cheap s**tty one.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

The rear ones are available from Peugeot in steel all bent exactly like they left the factory and its much easier and better than making up our own I reckon________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

How did you find this to do? Getting the bubble flare is a right ballache.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Haven't attempted it for a long while. Got a fair few to do and this shape is new to me. Any pics of your efforts?Using kunifer pipe and my sealey kit, though I suspect it's me being ham fisted. did you just use the flat side of a normal flaring die to form the correct shape? Was watching a video on YouTube and did everything the same but my outcome wasn't the best. ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

naah no pics, it may be due to your use of Kunifer, it'll be a fair bit stiffer than standard copper so will need clamping a lot tighter, or using a decent kit not a £15 jobby.you would need to use the flat side of the clamp to do most flares. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Using a little lube on the forming dies may help, so long as you wash it off the flare with brake cleaner________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

The kunifer itself actually reacts quite nicely, think it's just my rusty technique. I'll keep trying.  ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

glad this was bumped as i'm just about to put all new pipework on my 205 gti with gti6 MC. so m10x1 / 3/16".. handy as i remember i bought a full roll 2 years ago from CBS and never used it. unless i go completely stainless but it's a road car so probably just go with copperthe hard part = finding it in the loft. good job the mrs can't get the loft ladders out of the hatch and see my plethora of car parts stashed up there  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
