Look at what I've done!!!!

So on to the 3rd goodridge hose and this happened.......I have no idea how as I'd already broke the fitting seal and started to undo it. Could of been coz I took the clip out half way through but I doubt it.

So I have 3 questions and I hope some knows the answers to all 3.

1. Can I fit a new end and bend the old pipe I little tighter as there looks to be enough left.

2. Can you order a brake line from a specialist that already comes bent to shape, is it an easy job and how much would the pipe cost?

3. How much would it cost for a garage to do the work for me? Obviously I'd still need to get the car there.

Thanks

From that pic that is the rear drivers side, yes that pipe could be replaced the other end of it can be found just to the left of the brake servo under the bonnet and I think you need to take the fuel tank out to remove it :scare:

 

I have seen this before the way I sorted it was to neatly cut the pipe about 6" back from the damage. I took that to my local pipe shop they made me a new pipe with a standard end to match the broken part and an inline connector at the other - you need a brake line flaring tool to then sort the pipe on the car and join it all back together a garage would probably charge 2 hours labour plus parts.

 

Hope that helps :)

Thanks the removal of the petrol tank sounds like a job I hope doesn't have to be done!!! So an inline connector????? So am I right in thinking it would just have a join around 6 inch bellow the damaged part? I have a brake flare kit so could do that, however if I can get a garage to put a join in it they could flare it at the same time.
