The repairs you have listed, brake pipes and discs are easy and relatively cheap, discs are not expensive for them, new pads better fitted too, if you have access to someone who can flair brake pipes for you, you've got it made, so to speak

Just be careful when bending the pipes, dont try to take the bends as acute as the originals, unless you have the right forming tools

Oh one little thing, before starting the brakes, soak the bleed nipples and brake unions in some pray oil like wd 40, to penetrate them, and try the bleed nipples first, otherwise if one breaks you will have to rethink your strategy

good luck :wink:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
