looking for advice of where to get rear brake pipes

[JazzHerbie]

Hi, I'm looking for some advise of where I can get the rear brake pipes for my ph2 172,
Its the pipe that goes from the rear calliper in solid, flexi the back to steel to the underside of the car along the beam axle.
Where can I get hold of them or does anybody have a part number or alternative solution to replace them as the pipe and Ferule have corroded together at the calliper end and to replace my callipers I'm going to end up snapping the pipe as it is twisting with the nut.
Could the whole lot be changed for rubber hose/ is it easy to make new pipes?
Thanks Tony

Can't help but I'm interested to know this too as mine are looking a bit sad for themselves. I would imagine there a dealer part.

I'm tempted at having a go at making my own. I'm a bit worried as I've never done this before but the brake pipe kits on fleasbay same reasonable

Any competent mechanic can make you new lines from copper pipe.

Just buy a bag of fittings, some braided lines and some new fluid and renew the whole lot while you're there.

Any recommendations on where to get braided hose and fittings from mate? I should be able to manufacture new pipes as I'm a marine engineer, I was just not sure if the pipes were ready available and cheaper then buying all the bits and my time to bend them etc

And speak to southwest Autos (a trader on here) about the braided lines.

Renault.

this. i just purchased the longer drivers side one for my cup last week - complete pipe all pre-bent into the right shape from caliper to centre flexi - £25 all in.

Renault do them, around £45 i think. However, as has been mentioned you can get them sorted with copper pipe, that how mine were fixed previously.
