Brass Brake unions

[Colin McA]

Hi,

One on brakes for you all.

I am going to rebuild my brakes and make up new pipes whilst I am at it.

Frost do a kit of brass unions but the kit doesn't have enough of the bits I need and bits I don't.

Two question are how many male and female unions do you need to re do a p5b? and the second is who can supply quanties without other junk?

Thanks
Colin

I reckon 9 male and 5 Female (3/8th UNF) if you are doing the servo as well. This assumes the join at the subframe is two female + double connector but some just have a male/female union - the flares have to mate properly and be perfect if leaks are to be avoided with this arrangement.

The brass do still seize in the alloy though and are easy to round off as they are much softer.

Use Kunifer tubing its better than plain copper and both are better that the steel bundy
