Brake lines
 
The ones that run under the car front to back. Just holed one of mine faffing about underneath. :mad:

Anyone know the cost? or have any?
Cheers.

normal brake pipe is it not? if you can get it off in one peice and take it to a local garage, they should be able to do you one.

That looks like it. It travels under the passenger footwell. Not too bad then.+++
Just off to find a fresh patch of wall to bang my head against. :hammer:

most motor factors have brake pipe by whatever length you need, guess a lot cheaper than dealer

Any decent garage can joint it with proper fittings. S'not rocket science! +++

I have made quite a few myself from copper brake pipe on a reel to replace corroded ones on Opels, Vauxhalls, Fords and Rovers, or some that brake undoing. You just cut a piece long enough, put nuts on it and make flares at the ends with flaring tool.

Now the one from dealer will probably be steel so stronger with less flex in it, you can also buy steel ones by the meter, copper is easier to work and does not corrode that easy. For race use they are normally replaced with hard stainless nickel alloy steel, which does not corrode and is very strong and very little flex making sharper brakes with better feel but very hard to work on these pipes, ordinary flare tools will brake instead of flaring the pipe.

Just got a tow hitch fitted to my S8 - expensive if you want a detachable one but easy enough to find
