Hi folks a question on brake pipes, on my girders i want to run copper lines from the calipers up the inside of the legs (instead of using normal flexi hose) , can you get the tackle to do this?

Yep you need a flaring tool.
Used to be able to get a kit to make your own lines for cars, Draper may still make a set, and try car restoration supply companies. copper brake lines from the same places too.
Post pictures when you start I'd like to see that.

You can only use the car parts if they are the right thread.

Bugger, was planning the same idea for the girders on Taz's trike too, only using Goodrich flexible hose on the front & copper car type pipes on the rest of the trike. Goodrich do a coloured sleeving -sorta like heat shrink sleeve, in various colours. I was thinking either gold to simulate the copper pipes, or black?
