Guys, I bet that tubing that Andy is using is not exactly copper; I believe that it's a product called Cunifer. Click here You are quite right SafariRob, it is kunifer tubing. back in the day it was called kunifer 10. In regards to the corossion resistance, it has to be protected like anything else...

Hey Andy, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but brake fluid attracts moisture. Copper corrodes on contact with water. This corrosion will contaminate your entire braking system. Use steel or stainless steel for brake lines. [-X Peter Hi Peter. Thanks for the answer. Here in the Uk we have used...

Nice one Darren. Got a question for you all here that may help me. I use a phoenix injector to push fluid through the lines http://www.brakebleeder.com/foto/product_2.jpg and i have just changed the front to rear 1/4" line from the ABS modulator to just above the back axle. Just bleed the brake...

Thanks guys. Quite right it is 1/4".

Andy.

Does anyone know the outside diameter of the front to rear brake line please? Van is a 1992 4 wheel ABS.

Reason? Rotting out and need to replace.

Thanks.
Andy.

Hi Mr Singh.
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm still constructing mine, so no kits I'm afraid and after this one, I've had enough!

Sorry to disappoint
Andy.

Been a loong time since I posted any progress. But that doesn't mean to say that nothings happened!! Bought and fitted a trans cooler for the towing of our newly acquired caravan!! 17" by 7" by 1"- largest I could get. (excellent advice from Socalli V8)-thanks Darren. http://i167.phot...

Nice to be back after a loong xmas and start of new year!! What have I been doing to the van? Well, been busy, and spending a lot of time outside in sub zero conditions. First the head unit has always been badly fitted and stuck out too far. So, the rear defroster vent has been modified so the unit ...

For anyone still watching this!! Heres the sections fabbed to fit the newer light units to the old core support. Notice the centre grille section has been removed and moved to the bottom. Note that the van wasnt harmed in the build process!! No extra holes have been drilled. This is a view of the dr...

Heres front end number 1 undergoing construction. Notice the centre grille section has been removed and moved to the bottom and the light units brought together. Note that the van wasnt harmed in the build process!! No extra holes have been drilled. This is a view of the drivers side with the light ...

Okay. last wednesday, I got in from work at about 4:30pm and was greeted with my Wife telling me that my van had been clamped on my driveway! She said that she had spotted 2 yellow stickers on the back of the van, but no clamp, and the usual pouch stuck to the passenger window from a sheffield clamp...

Hi Blazer. Yep, they are ramps. Been a loong time since I did any lengthy work on my van. But, managed to get some quality time-mainly due to an local clamping firm that ....well, read on..... I manged to obtain a dash identical to mine from a local friend who was scrapping an early van. Wrong colou...

it all goes together well apart from fact the rubber cushion is left out because the bolts on the saddle were too short ...i can get longer bolts and fit rubber cushion if that is only issue? Unfortuately joeastromatt is not entirely right here. If longer bolts were used, the stock rubber cushions ...

A quick google search shows the 6300 is for the 85 to 95 with composite springs. That would explain the instructions and poor fit. Thanks for your reply. My van has the kit for the composite spring fitted, which is different to the one that we fitted to joeastromatt's van. So I dont think the kit i...
