Ian Dunn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Has anyone had to replace the Red pipes (hydraulic) to the accumulators ? If so can you tell me what pipe and fittings i need. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think you'll find the fittings are BSP, and the tubing is imperial, but steel hydraulic pipe of a modern metric size can work if the flares on the ends of the tubing are made big enough, I had to replace several of the steel pipes on my saracen and this is how I did mine, although I was able to reuse most of the fittings. regards, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Amongst other pipes, I replaced the main brake booster/power valve - to centre and rear brake pipe connector, ('T' joint under front edge of fuel tank), and the left and right pipes from this to the hull, these are both full-pressure pipes, and were done back in 2006 and are still perfect.... my original ones had more holes than a penny whistle!:wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) No red pipes on my Stalwart - no accumulators either come to that... :-D :-D Edited September 8, 2011 by ArtistsRifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( or would the pressure be too much) Edited September 8, 2011 by Ian Dunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
