Full details

This copper brake pipe set is designed for MGB owners restoring or repairing 1974-1976 models, offering a durable and corrosion-resistant upgrade for the vehicle's braking system. The primary benefit is the inclusion of precision-cut, labeled pipes that simplify a complex installation, though users must be comfortable with automotive hydraulic system maintenance and bleeding brakes to utilize this kit effectively.

FAQs

Does this set include flexible brake hoses?

No, this set consists of rigid copper brake pipes and mounting clips only.

Can I use these pipes on an MGB from 1972?

No, this kit is specifically designed for the layout and dimensions of the 1974-1976 model years.

Are the pipes pre-flared?

Yes, the pipes come precision-cut and flared to ensure a leak-proof connection with the included fittings.

Why use copper instead of steel?

Copper is significantly easier to work with, provides better routing flexibility during installation, and is highly resistant to external corrosion.

Are the pipes labeled for easy installation?

Yes, each pipe is clearly labeled and includes a location index to identify exactly where each piece fits in the system.

What is the wall thickness of the pipes?

These pipes feature an extra-thick 0.9mm wall for increased durability.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating a brass fitting

Ensure the pipe end is perfectly perpendicular to the fitting. Do not cross-thread; turn by hand first to confirm it is seated correctly.

Persistent soft pedal after install

This indicates trapped air in the lines. Repeat the bleeding process following the correct sequence for MGB brake systems.

Minor leaks at a connection

Double-check that the flare is correctly seated and the fitting is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This set is strictly compatible with MGB models produced between 1974 and 1976. Before installation, verify the condition of existing mounting points on the chassis to ensure they are free of excessive rust. Ensure the system is flushed of old fluid before installing these lines. The pipes arrive capped; do not remove these caps until you are ready to connect each specific pipe to prevent debris from entering the lines. Once installed, the entire system must be bled according to the MGB service manual to remove air trapped in the lines.
