98 1.9 Z3 brake pipes

Post by Weymouth »

Can any body tell me what size the copper brake pipes be.
I have several rolls of Saville copper brake tubes. Seamless 22 gauge
O/D dia 3/16th inch - 4.76 mm
Wall thickness .028 - 0.71
max working pressure *3100 PSI - 214 BAR
Would it be ok to use.

Cheers

Terry

I'd like to do this to the extent of the 6 brake hoses and the pipework at the rear end - but I always see the issue of bleeding the ABS pump as a hurdle for me.

I too will have to ask for help with the ABS Del, and a little more.
Have just taken delivery over the last two day of,

Pair of rear coil springs to go with new rear shocks
Pair of front coil springs
Pair of front Shocks
pair of front shock top mounts
pair of front wheel bearings hub kit
pair of front brake flexi pipes
pair of front caliper seals
pair of rear axle mount bushes
Pair of used Boston metallic green doors with window glass & fittings. ( only need the drivers door. cheaper to buy the pair )
Have installed a nice 7" hi res screen with all the Bis. Its a single din fitting but the screen hangs over the air & heating controls. when you want to insert a dvd you just push a button & the screen swings up exposing all the heating controls, push button again & the screen lowers.

Didn't need any of the above or the first list for the mot last week ... flew threw, not even an advisory note. Wanted to replace lots of bits because its a 1998 & not sure whats been replaced in the past
Nearly finished building my 41 year old beetle chassis, GRP 2 seater, twin cam engine Nova, so then a little rest
