I drilled through both brake lines by the sill today. I cant find the replacement pipes anywhere been searching since 6pm.

Please somebody point me in the right direction

Just get connectors made up and cut the section out mate. You can get copper pipe with any fitment connector on it for feck all down a decent motorfactors. Get the same connectors fitted to the ends of the fixed pipes and fit small sections in to replace the damaged area. Think its about a pound per foot normally so will cost under a fiver

It's all very well saying 'replace small sections' but unless you have a flaring tool, which isn't the easiest thing to use with the pipes on the car anyway, this isn't possible.

Do you not think citroen would sell parts for it?

i was looking at getting a flaring tool last night. i will be visiting citroen tomorrow see what they quote me for the parts.

i cant believe i done it i won the tosser of the year award and its only february

citroen will do them but thye aint cheap

best way would be to measure them from the nearest two unions and get a facotrs to make up new lengths

it will be alot cheaper and quicker than citreon

or i could supply them to you given the dimesnions
would take a couple of days to sort

i will get a price tomorrow and then i might get back to you once ive taken another look at them
