Best way clean nearside brake pipe
« on: 28 October 2010, 12:52:05 »
Just have the car MOT ....it passed fine :) :) :).

Just had a advisory about the nearside front to back brake pipe being slightly corroded. Is this on the drivers side and also any best way to clean it up is it just wire brush job. Thanks

Another option is to replace with new copper pipe. OK you will need to bleed the brakes, but you would fit & forget.   ::)
