BG 182 rear brake lines

[marcushookdale]

Hello Chaps , Just putting the feelers out to see what you lads use , on replacing your rear metal brake lines, And i'm guessing Renault don't do them anymore, So just tryna get an idea of what else, I don't fancy using copper pipe, Am i right in thinking you can't use copper brake pipes , with ABS ? , Sure i heard that somewhere the other day.

You can use copper with ABS just fine.

I used a kit from BRT which replaced all of the rear lines with braided.

No worries, the rear lines are pretty exposed to salt and dirt etc, most at this age need doing of have been done. Enjoy, I've got some pictures somewhere i'll post in a mo

Thats the BRT kit which was great quality and not horribly expensive.

Braided lines are the way to go for ease.

But copper-nickel lines would be fine.

As above, braided are easier. But if you wanted hardline Id go for this black coated line.

I've never used steel brake lines but have flared a new fitting into an existing steel line and my tools were not happy at all!

Copper Nickel was a walk in the park compared 😂

I bought one of the £200 kits for single din flares of larger lines, lets just say after trying it out its sat in the corner of the unit ever since lol. I don't know what oem use for flaring single din 1/4 and 5/16 lines but I need it!
