Hi
My 100 series is due an MOT and the metal brake lines along the chassis are badly corroded. Does anyone know if you can get aftermarket ones ? not had any luck finding any on google.
Thought about making some and measured them at 5mm diameter but this doesn't seem a common size in the UK or would they be 3/16 ?

Thx Mark

Most garages will make them up for you, or you could make them yourself, it's not to difficult, there are plenty of 'how to' vid's on YouTube.

👍 can you get s/s ? Although that might be a bit difficult to work at home workshop. Copper as said is much easier to work/flair.
