what do you mean in size?

normal metal brake pipe is 3/16 but that would only be a little joining part from the top and bottom cylinders on a TLS setup which the late Series 3's had. Or are you referring to the flexi pipe?

The axle breather thread is 1/8 BSP.

Thanks Devon,

Thats just what i was after, I wanted the solid pipe size from the flexi to the cylinder.....and the thread size as I have to drill out an old breather and re-tap the axle!

just got to find a suitable tap now.

Thanks

no worries mate.....thanks for the info - all this BSB and 1/8th crap is confusing to those of us who learnt Metric! (Just an excuse!)

All that remains is to drill out the axle breather and re-tap the casing....i presume it is a parallel tap!

the axle breather thread is 1/8 BSPP (parallel thread), if you need fittings I keep them in stock PM or goto axledeep.com,
