Rear brake lines

[DomP182]

Wheres the best place to get rear brake lines? The union on mine has seized to the pipe meaning I've had to rotate the caliper to get it off

 

[Mbeau]

Think from another post you can still get them new from Renault. Which side is it you need? @DomP182

 

[DomP182]

Haha yeah both I think now! Drivers side is a dodgy mechanic made copper job a d the passengers is seized

 

[Amos91]

RPD for both.

Sorry to dig this thread back up. I have been keeping myself busy working on my 183, but noticed the rear beam was ‘damp’. It actually is were a rear brake pipe has fractured, on further investigation (me poking it) it’s completely knackered. RPD seems to be out of stock! Any recommendations for a supplier of the complete hardline OSR brake

 

[NTG999]

I recently ordered both sides from George@rtr

Thats not the lines to the calipers though?

Yeah I’m after the hardlines that run the length of the beam...as it happens I’m thinking I should drop the whole beam and refurbish it whilst I’m at it...

I'd ask RPD if I was you about lead time.

I got mine here and it came quick enough, no guarantee where stock is though -

That's my intention this summer as it looks like I wont get to drive it, not overly looking forward to it with the state of the bolts but it's a necessity due to some corrosion

I initially though I just had some standard ‘surface rust’ but I think on reflection I would be happier dropping it now and sorting. Otherwise it’s one of those jobs that I’ll put off until it’s too late. Given I now have to replace the brake lines, seems sensible to sort all at once. Annoying I will need to move car out of the garage to get it facing the right way with space to work around. I am tempted to buy a used 182 complete rear beam, strip it and send off to blasters/powder coaters. Then replace all the bushes before removal and swap. Doesn’t look too difficult a job just the bolts that scare the crap out of me! May start soaking in wd40 now!!

I'd thought the same regarding prepping a beam ready but the hassle and expense of getting hold of one is putting me off. Access to the bolt threads to clean them up is a bit of a PITA on axle stands too. Let me know how you get on as encouragement to get on with my own

Nearside hard pipe is no longer available, just the offside is now available.

 

[RustyMojo]

I’m after an offside. But would be wise to change NS at same time no doubt. If one has perished the other won’t be far behind

Mine wont be done now until after the lockdown, if I drop it out now no one is open to treat it And the car will be rendered immobile. Which would stop me from working on other s**t. Also I think I may need someone to give me a hand as it looks gurt heavy

 

[DomP182]

I was possibly just going to hammerite mine, powdercoat would make it the tidiest part of the car

 

[RustyMojo]

😂 mine too! Maybe I just get it blasted and hammeright the life out of it

@renaultpartsdirect

They always seem to float in and out of availability so will be interesting to see. Thankfully recently done both of mine.

Depends if you want to remove the beam mounts from the shell. As discussed before, if you run the fuel tank low, remove the 4x fuel tank bolts you can then get enough access to remove the horizontal beam bolts out. This way you don't have to touch the captive bolts going through the boot floor.

It is nice having it blasted and powdercoated -

I think the original finish from the factory cant have been much more than that, they were rusty after only a few years

Looks good that! I need the mounts off though because I've got rust on the shell where they mount

@Amos91 I replaced both mine back in Feb, I ended up luckily finding the Left hand one from a dealer that had one left in stock. My Dealer & several others told me it was No Longer Available when phoning around.

Sorry, I was mislead into thinking this was a listing for hoses all the way back to the rear calipers by the photos of a long length of hose with a male fitting at one end, and a female at the other.

It is in fact the standard OE 8 inch with 2 females flexi`s.

Not sure why eBay sellers cannot use a picture of what they are selling?



I am waiting replies from companies offering custom hoses and will update if I get some positive replies.
