Hi

Anyone know where I can get 3/16" steel brake pipe? I want it for the MGA where it is visible in the engine bay, copper based pipes some how dont look quite right.

Ta Dave

Hi Phil

Tried that, they only seem to stock copper and nickel copper these days
Sad

Cheers Dave

Found this steel VW brake pipe kit if it helps.......

http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Brake-pipe-set-1967-Steel-requires-bending-to-shape_act_shop.product_pID_55951_lang_EN_country_GB.htm

I expect Just Kampers would also stock these, or perhaps
german & swedish?

Couldn't find any mini or MG related suppliers tho,

Good luck
