Sheepy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Dag Wim, While it is all apart, it's easier to replace them all, depends on the condition of the others.You can buy a pre made kit for them also? Let me know if you struggle to get the pipe, I have some. CheersShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hey Wim,Dirk bought a kit for his mk2, but it's single line system, so don't know how much different it would be in price.The benefit with the kit is all the pipes are the correct length (usually) so just need bending and fitting.I would personally buy the pipe and fittings and make it yourself, and as you are disconnecting the back end, why not replace all the pipes at the same time, as you have to bleed the system with new fluid.you then know it's all good, and it will be easier to do now, :)CheersShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the conector for the pwda valve had a bigger fitting for the front brakes (original 3/8 just on the pwda for the front (i think) 7/16 )I just bought 2 new T-pieces/3-way for the back (and maybe one for the front) & a new male/male 3/8 connector ;)So... maybe its better to fit new ones , no problems for mot a few years..Kind regards Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know at the back it's al the same for single and tandem but at the front it's different :)Kind regards Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilfisken Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi Wim,Canley lists pipe kits for all types of Spitfire brakes:H110 BRAKE PIPE SET - SPIT IVLATE/1500SINGLE £43.10 H111 BRAKE PIPE SET - SPITIVLATE/1500SIN LHD £43.10 H113 BRAKE PIPE SET - SPIT1500EAR TANDEM LHD £43.10 H114 BRAKE PIPE SET - SPIT1500 LATE TANDEM £43.10 H115 BRAKE PIPE SET - SPIT 1500 LATE TANDEM LHD £43.10 They are usually very easy to deal with, if you would require something special they can no doubt make it for you as I think they make all brake pipe kits individually after orders been placed.Cheers,Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
