One of these on each side of the bulkhead? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282631082386How would I seal a brake pipe into a bleed nipple port? Short male fitting & a copper washer? I've got a reel of copper pipe, a flaring tool & a brake pipe bender, but never made up copper brake pipes on my own. |

Is it a long way? maybe a flex to the bulkhead? twice as you say. I'll dig some info out from my Hydraulic catalogue.
You should be able to make a brake pipe end, double flare and with the right size nut or screw tighten it into the brake booster no problem. Or as you say a male thread and washer tightened in.

About 12" from servo bleed port to a suitable point on the bulkhead. One either side.
I've been looking at this all the time I've been cleaning up & Dynamatting the bulkhead, but the servo mounts to the tubular frame that supports the steering wheel etc. That's at the welders at the moment. I'm also waiting for someone to machine up the solid slugs to mount the frame to the chassis. So was going to wait till it was all re-fitted so I can route the pipework around everything. I could drill the bulkhead & bolt in the fittings though.

Do you have a old flexi brake hose? you could try it in the thread. Brake hoses are easy to make up and could solve many little problems later.

When I rode motorcycles regularly I had a big box of spare Goodrich hose & various fittings. Long gone now.

do you have a brake pipe fitting that will screw in where the bleed nipple is? that will give you the thread.

My day off tomorrow. I've got to go & buy some stainless Imperial bolts, (my local bolt shop doesn't stock them), so will bung the servo in the boot of the car & nip over to Merlin Motorsport in Wiltshire while I'm out. I can pick up everything I need there.

From memory Andy I think they where 3/8-24 unf fitting. I'm sure Kev will know. |

You've got a far better memory than me Terry!
As I said, I've been thinking about this while working on the bulkhead, so, as it's been mentioned, I might as well get it sorted.
