2000 z3 brake piping kit

[Tom A]

Hi all.,..in the process of getting a 2000 z3 back up and going after sitting for 4 years, after doing the front end, brakes, and lots of other stuff, I now need to replace all the brake piping. Is anyone aware of a complete kit, looking on line, I'm having trouble finding one. If anyone has any information on this, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks .
Tom

You will find flaring kits for forming the ends on brake pipe Tom. Brake pipe is sold in various metals from steel to cupro-nickel (cunifer) to copper. Tube cutter is an essential item as it gives a "clean" cut with no burrs. A tube bender is a good idea, I can make very tight bends just using my hands but it does come with lots of practice.

I don’t think you’ll find a complete replacement set. And if you did it would be shipped to you coiled up. Then you’ll have to straighten it and put the bends in anyway. The front to back pipes must be 15ft.

As Tony says the best way is DIY. I like nice straight pipework so have a straightener tool. Then I do a bend at a time and cable tie closely to the old pipe using it as a template.
