Removing ABS

[Alex]

Thinking of changing to braided lines as the standard ones are getting a bit corroded so might remove abs while I'm at it.

I'm guessing I can still use the 2 port MC with some T junctions?

[AlexB]

yes you can
thats how ive made my braided kit for my car

[Alex]

Ah cool, Do the lines have to be even lengths from the T piece for the front?

No mate, any length will do, so cut to a length that allows you to route them neatly :)

seems an expensive way for no technical advantage over solid piping which will need many more clamps to secure it than solid piping

I'd keep the ABS if its working correctly

just run copper pipe..it cant expand so its better and is less likely to burst

Love the way people tend to think braided hose throughout has to be best because its expensive

Yes it looks nice, but should really be kept to a minimum and only used where it does have an advantage... Like replacing nasty orible rubber flexi hoses

Plus it costs hardly anything for enough to do the whole car

I was only thinking braided for ease of installing.
Could see myself accidentally pinching a copper line and ruining it.

Still cheaper to replace the whole copper setup than buy 1 length of braided. I looked into redoing mine a while back but the cost of the hose alone was more than a full kit and tools to redo them in new copper piping.

Looks bling, but i'd spend the money on something that will give you an edge rather than looks.

just sayin' ;)

i did my own braided kit on my nana it was 300+ easily tbh i didnt add it all up but 8 pound per meter for line is a bad start lol

[blackie_2k5]

I prefer the look of copper likes nearly ran through the car then braided too

[AlexB]

tbh copper can look mint (aka beaniemoos) but my skills it would be a right mess lol (i know i tried before) the braided looks tidy imo
and tbh its got bling factor which is all that car was about back then lol

Fair dos :)

Copper is easy to work with :) just dont try to make too tight a bend without a proper tool lol

[AlexB]

yea it wasnt bad was my first ever attempt at lines had only 1 leak and they did work
but they werent as tidy as i would want these days lol
