Brake pipes are the "veins" of your vehicle's braking system. They are the rigid metal tubes that carry high-pressure brake fluid from the master cylinder.
Because brake pipes are located on the underside of your car, they are constantly exposed to the elements. In the UK, road salt and moisture are the biggest enemies, as they can cause the metal pipes to corrode and rust over time.
If a brake pipe becomes excessively corroded, it can:
Leak fluid: Leading to a loss of braking pressure.
Perforate: Causing a sudden and dangerous "brake failure."
Fail the MOT: Corroded brake pipes are one of the most common reasons for an MOT failure in the UK.
Brake pipes comes as a copper reel and are made bespoke for each replacement using special tools.
Specail equipment is required to fabricate the brake pipes.
