It's so much easier now with the copper pipe, I remember replacing them when we could only get steel pipe, an absolute devil to bend when it had to be fed around the back of fuel tanks etc. Many thanks. Gérard.
I have never used lube when forming a brake flare but seems a sensible thing to do, I will try to remember to do this next time. You can buy a small de-burr/chamfer tool from Automec for only a few pennies which works quite well and is easy to use! Shame the Morris has gone is there a farewell video for this? My first thought on the mystery car was a Rover P6, but that rear caliper is not for a P6, Ford used the same Girling caliper for the rears on their big cars, so not a Ford, so my guess is a classic Range Rover, for a K reg would be a two door and the purest design before they became bloated and luxury barges. My second guess would be a Jaguar XJ6, but a K reg? Did any survive from then? Sticking with first guess, probably with a towing hitch...
Hi, if I find myself making lots of pipes I'll look into a chamfer tool, I did wonder about doing a Morris leaving vid but couldn't bring myself to do it, just seeing it outside made me question my judgement but the decks had to be cleared a little. As for the "modern", all will be revealed soon.
@@oldclassiccarUK It's me being thick and not thinking straight 3/16 is of course way smaller than 5/8! Doh! You'd never guess I worked in camshaft manufacturing in the 80's measuring down to tenths of a thou!
Got me frustrated now, the only other mass produced car I can think of with rear discs from that period would be a Jag.When I do find out,I'll be saying,oh yes of course. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing!🤔

Excellent!... (and more Collie 🐾 at your discretion) 👍

Stupid question time. ;-) If the pipe and adapter are 3/16 why do you need to use the 5/8 hole on the tool?
Not stupid at all, the markings on the flare bar don't necessarily line up with the holes :-)

Bet it's a p6 Rover!
He said it was the rear caliper and that is not a rear caliper for a P6!
Along those lines, kind of, but not a P6 (or P5B for that matter although if one had come along within budget I'd have been tempted, again)

Oh no,just had a brain storm,one other just thought of-Mk4 Zephyr or Zodiac.
