Remote reservoir to master cylinder pipe.

Post by leyther8008 »

Does anybody know if calor gas pipe (the orange stuff) is suitable for connecting the two together, I know from my cost that brake fluid osmosis's through silcone pipe and certain rubber pipes, I,ve seen a Jaguar owners club master cylinder fix that uses orange air pipe, but cant get hold of any, I can get calor pipe though and I know that its higher rated than normal pipe because calor gas leeches through normal tubes.
Or any supplier who can supply 2m lengths of suitable pipe?
I'll see you on the otherside'!

You want EPDM pipe for brake fluid.
definately not Nitrile!

What is EPDM? dont do techno. is there a trade name I could use to search for it.

XBD There is an excellent kit supplied by a vendor, solid copper lines so no problems with fluid leeching through rubber pipes, but!! hes not allowed to advertise his own product, however if you go a couple of posts back the clues are there!!! (initially speaking)
