Hi all,
Was investigating a "clunk" under the back of the 80 series today (but that's another story, for another thread!), and noticed one of the rear brake lines was slightly damp. On investigation, yup - its brake fluid weeping. Looks like the clamp where the line is attached to the axle is rusting/chaffing through.
I've not messed about with the brake lines on the 80 series TBH, and don't have a flaring tool, so wondered if it's possible to buy pre-made items? I've checked the usual suspects (Roughtrax and Milners, and did some Googling) but no joy.
Any ideas? Or do I need to bite the bullet either learn to do it myself, or get a garage on the case....???
Cheers guys
