Hippo Brake pipes

[Lmortimer334]

Dear all,

 

We need a replacement set of brake pipes for our Leyland Hippo. We have been down to our local hydraulic specialist and they cannot find what threads are on the ends.

From the hydraulic company;

"Righto so the steel pipe from brake servo to rear axles has split and corroded so it will need to be replaced from front to rear. Unfortunately the flexible hoses between chassis and axle have also gone but they cant work out what the thread is. The flexi then goes from the T piece by the diff. Then copper pipes goes from that to the brake cylinders. Also these copper pipes are crushed and 2 have splits in it them." 

 

Anyone got any help on this one?

If Lockheed, it’s UNF, flexi hose is an oddball UNF as well. Pipe fittings are very similar to JIC.

Girling likely BSF

happy hunting
