As part of my winter fettling and re-checking the Singer after a superb first year of running, I want to change the brake lines from master cylinder to servo and servo to main junction/union, what pipe is best to use? I am hoping to reuse the fittings off the current pipes. Should I just order the stock from Powertrax? (I have made pipes up many years ago, I have a good pipe bender and faring tool)
Secondly, when I originally recommissioned the Singer, I checked the pads and shoes but refitted them as they were ok. I have a set of new old stock, Ferodo rear shoes (probably asbestos based) but will need a set of pads in order to change both front and back brakes. Should I look for a set of new, old stock (asbestos based) or go with a new friction material?
BTW, I am fully conversant with the issues regarding asbestos and the need to wear PPE when dealing with the dust etc.

I'd go Kunifer on the pipework and Greenstuff on the pads. DP2107 should be the set for your car.

P45.
