Howdy Steve (again). That John is really talented, Pipe bending and udder milking in the same video, on the same day. I think you chaps will be getting a reputation. I do like a neat tidy brake pipe job and John did a great one here, along with some useful hints and tips. Two vids in one day, well done! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 🦘🐔🦴🐶👍😎🖖🏍
Hey Giday Pedro. John is certainly an all-rounder but pipe bending and milking a cow are not that different when you think about it :-) Yes the brake pipe content deserved it's own episode and our loyal subscribers deserved a little bonus episode, so we hope you enjoy a 3 episode week :-) Stay well and safe over there buddy!
Great video! I am currently trying to refit brake lines on a new chassis and I have the exact same P-Clips as you do. I’m just wondering how you secure the clips on to the chassis?
We call them line wrenches up here in Chicago. They keep the fitting from getting oval and binding on the tubing. Benders are nice to have in tight areas and loops. Should I send you a tubing cutter?
I actually have a tubing cutter but it was in my workshop not Johns so...that's the problem of working out of 2 workshops :-) A better tool for the job for sure. Hope you guys are doing well in Chicago with the CV19, the news from this side of the planet looks bad for the USA, take care!
Hi, are you sure the brake lines are meant to go in between the shield and axle? I am very sure they are meant to go on the outside of the shield to protect from chaffing. Very early 80s had them on the inside and they issued a service bulletin sometime in 1949 to shift them to the outside of the shield
Hi Mike, No we are not sure, we are never sure of anything as we learn as we go, we make plenty of mistakes all the time so it is totally possible:-) . We will check it out and get back to you, thanks.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Hi, Really enjoy the videos and useful to see how you overcome pitfalls when restoring from scratch. Mike is correct - the brake pipes should go on the side of the shield away from the axle. The shield protects the pipe from the check strap (part 237100) that runs form the chassis and under the axle to stop it falling off when off road. Typical Land Rover belt and braces.
@@stevefroggatt6553 Thanks Steve. Yes iundeed, we rerouted the pipes after Mikes comment. we love that the huge collective brain out there helps us with our project :-) Intrestingly the series 1 did not have the shields.
Yes seems to be a great easy to use pipe, worked out very well. Not sure what flare John did, I was busy ripping down the bulkhead whilst he did it and we lost a little footage in the ether when John sent it to me. I will check.
Patron #1 ! Really glad to be supporting a great bunch of guys working on a great project! Keep it up Steve, John and the crew!

Thankyou for filming all of that.
Two vids in a day! Thanks. Still looking forward to the firewall rebuild. :)
Special double episode weekend for mothers day :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Yeah, but my mother doesn't watch the channel...I do, so what's in it for me? LOL!!
Oh, wait - I get to watch two episodes in a day.

Hey guys, what size piping and what size/thread fittings did you need? Trying to do my own right now. thanks!

Great vid lads! Was just wondering where you got all of the parts from? Cheers
On line mostly from UK suppliers like Craddocks & Paddocks

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia No worries at all, just thought I'd point it out because it is a safety concern! cheers

I redid all my metal lines with the same roll of copper nickel lines. Works wonderfully!! Did yours have a bubble flares?
Yes seems to be a great easy to use pipe, worked out very well. Not sure what flare John did, I was busy ripping down the bulkhead whilst he did it and we lost a little footage in the ether when John sent it to me. I will check.
@jaybee379 Thanks for the clarification John.
jaybee379 I think I had to do a bubble flare at the wheel cylinders. It’s a European brake flare. A lot of German cars have them.
It's the left an right front show.
:-)
Hey buttercup!
Having a feed.
Moooo.
...kunifer is copper/nickel.....supposed to be longer lasting than just copper alone :)
Thanks Grump. We are not allowed to use straight copper in Oz for some reason - standards or some such... we just do what we are told :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia what a weird law...ah well, such is life
@@GrumpsBarn Ha that's what Ned Kelly said just before they hung him :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Lmfao 😂😂😂
Better to have a tool and not need it than NOT have a tool and need it.
Never a truer words spoken :-)
