hard pipe that runs across the rear beam and then turns into a braided flexi? you have to change the entire thing, only about £30 from the dealer

Hi Fred, its the connector that braided line (from caliper) screws into to link up to the main brake line on the car body, think its this? View attachment 105041

Re: Brake hose connector - Joins braided line from calliper to green main body brake

so the male union on the hard pipe is knackered or the female union on the braided flexi?

Re: Brake hose connector - Joins braided line from calliper to green main body brake

its the male union on the hard pipe that are minced & the bolt is a bit rounded from working on it so guess it just needs new union connector. The GRidge braided flexi line threads are all good & new. Do you sell these?

i mean nuts rounded, mechanically dyslexic

you'll either have to replace the entire hard pipe, or cut the old union off and replace then reflare it and maybe the flexi too, horrible s**t job!

Ah balls, had a feeling there'd b sum flaring involved caus of that olive on brake line nozzle. One last question, do these type of unions fit on without having to flare pipe or best just to get renault part & flare it?
