    Cracked crossover pipe for Porsche Brembo caliper...

    Anybody ever try making one on their own instead of purchasing them? I have the tools to make the brake lines but some thing this small? What size of tubing and is it a Bubble Flare? How perfect does it need. I've searched many sites but have not found instuctions on how to fab them.

    Ultimately im sure it is very easy with the corrocy tools. it may not be as pretty as factory but as long as its tidy and works.

      I´m sure there is a good shop that refurbishes brakes that can do it for a small amount.

      I had my big red brembo calipers redone att such a local brakerepairshop in Stockholm and they also renewed the small u-shaped brakepipes, looks like factory

        I think you need a high quality tube bender to get those tight radius bends, as above a decent brake shop should be able to help.
        Or you could use a small length of braided hose?

          It's straightforward with a standard pipe bender and flare tool. Standard brake pipe of 3/16". Normal M10x1 fittings
