E30 rear brake pipes wanted..

[goarmy]

Looking for the rear brake pipe after the small distributer in the center that split to either axle side

[varg]

Probably easier and cheaper to go to NAPA, get new straight sections of the correct length and bend new ones up. I buggered one of my brake lines up getting it off and that was the easiest solution for me.

these?



I also have new ebrake cables

I'll bend and flare them for you. PM if interested.

copper is super easy to bend buy hand, and you probably don't want to do this job ever again

^ if you are bending copper for brake lines you might want to reconsider your choice of metal.

I recently did this job. The lines are still available from the dealer but they are not pre-bent. They do come cut to the correct length and have the ends flares and connectors in place. I want to say the two short lines were about $25 each and the long one to the front was about $50. The long run was not hard to bend by hand with some patience. The short ones were a bit tricky due to the small loops but if you take your time and don't force anything it isn't bad. I bought a small pipe bender from Advanced Auto which wasn't the greatest but did help for a couple of the more extreme bends. Good luck.

Or you could get stainless steel 4.4mm pipe haha

The copper nickel alloy trade name is "cunifer" - its a copper / nickel / iron alloy and is standard on certain makes of cars (Volvo being one). Its much easier to bend and flare and the lines will outlast the car.

I've done brake line replacements with this stuff as well as the BMW OEM steel lines that come pre-flared. For those short lines above the axle, the alloy is MUCH easier to work with. For the other lines, those are long enough and there is enough room to bend as needed, plus the bends are not as tight.

I've been using the copper alloy brake lines exclusively since I discovered them. They are in four cars. Far easier to install, no tendency to rust.

It's a win-win. And they are readily available.

Looking for these please anybody???? Been long time now :(

I have the hard lines that go to either side on the rear off a 90 325ic vert. Heck, I will throw in the 3 way connector. Provide a cell # or email for a pic.
