Guest Dojomaster1984 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hello I am making up some new brake lines for my MK3 XR3i 1600 with Vac and was wondering what material they are meant to be made of copper or Aluminium and what type 3/16" or 1/4" tubing. Thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dojomaster1984 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Had a good look over the brakes on the weekend and the lines are of a Aluminium or Steel material. Should I stick with what was there or should i use copper pipes? I dont want to end up bursting them.

Guest Dojomaster1984 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 What pressure do the hardlines run at? I am thinking of going copper but need to know what pressure rating tubing to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
