Tony B Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I got my last lot from my local factor. Try your local plumbers supply place or dear old Amazon and E bay. Make sure you get adaptor, and the end screws at the same time to garuntte fit of threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You may find that imperial microbore is difficult to get & in any case you would not wish to use cheapo Italian brass. What you need is a "Wade" quality unequal pipe coupler. https://www.indanc.com/Catalogue/Brass-Compression-Fittings/Wade-Imperial-Couplings/Reducing-Coupling-WADE-40431 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 btw, you don't state the pipe material , there are cutting olive rings for steel. https://www.indanc.com/catalogue/results.aspx?search=olive+rings+steel+pipe If you are in that class for brakes , then I would do a search on what ERMETO have available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Don't use compression fittings with olives, not suitable for brakes will fail an MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously - a double-lap flare is best on a pressure pipe, seems he is fitting a remote intensifier / servo , possibly with a remote reservoir where the feed pipe would be just static head. ? You can soon find the minimum bursting pressure for Bundy and Kunifer + any quality branded pipe or fitting , not so easy to find the vehicle max. braking operating pressure. I am uncertain what the MOT situation actually is , abt. 5 years ago a MOT examiner actually suggested and gave the OK for me to use a straight connector with a new length of pipe from front offise slave cylinder on a S2A Land Rover. This was to save a load of work and hassle as it is a long complex shaped pipe going by way of IIRC cross member near bellhousing. I decided to take the best option of a full new length of Cupro Nickel pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Burnett & Hillman still supply Pirtek with adaptors. Edited October 10, 2018 by onthecorner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
