I removed my old pipes and took them into my car spares shop, he cut, moulded them into shape and flared them for about a fiver :thumb2

Thats what a good motor factors would do, most of them nowadays are just parts stockists that will sell you the tools, pipe and unions.
Hopefully you have the right type of motor factors near you:thumb2

for a fiver is a very good deal - I had to pay 25€ (£18) for the 2 pipes next to the rear axle. Mind you - had to bend them myself!

Guess who's got a flairing tool and a roll of pipe squirrelled away somewhere

Next summer I intend to replace all mine just to be sure, chuff knows what the mot tester will find to advise on :lol

You should not have any problem with those, but I do not use a pipe cutter, I do on larger pipes but brake pipe is difficult to ream the inward facing burr that a cutter forms, I cut with a junior hack saw, just make sure no filings are in the pipe, Rick

I have that exact kit. I used it yesterday to flare the pipe for the clutch master cylinder as I had to cut it off. Works just fine, if a tad fiddly to use if the pipe's stiil on the truck :thumbs
