Title: WJ/WG brake pipes pre-bent from dealer...?
Post by: haslamg on November 05, 2013, 09:14:00 PM

Helloo

The yanks go on about getting pre-bent brake pipes\lines from the dealer for the WJ, for a nice low cost.

Any idea if we can get 'em from UK dealers without getting stiffed?

Thanks.

It's worth trying a CJ dealer as some prices ain't too bad. But since Fiat took over CJ about a couple of years ago some prices are quite random, some parts you expect to be cheap ain't and vice versa.

I generally make my own I think that is the cheapest option

rear axle pipes are £29 for the long one and £10 for the short one plus vat for the WJ
tried getting the front ones, but no longer available since 2008 I seem to remember.
don't Know if the front to back one is still available.

Actually, in the end I imported some PVF brake pipe rolls from the US.  It can be easily be bent by hand and is coloured black.
