Long story short my rear beam is knackered and upon removing today I cannot undo one single brake line as they are heavily corroded and the brake compensator (on right hand side of beam??) is also seized solid which is possibly why I can still turn one wheel when pressing the pedal? Can I get new lines from pug or is it better to make new? If so what size are the fittings/pipe as can get hold of a flaring tool |

Most are M10x1 male and female, the bias valve I think is M12x1 (Been a while) But I would ditch the std set up now your there and get a single line to the back but would mean killing the ABS as well thou, use a adjustable valve then ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Be fine aslong as you remove ABS totally including warning light in dash Save some weight and make it neater under the bonnet with more space If your keen you could strip all the related wiring/relays etc from your loom too  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

You can change a beam without undoing any brake pipe connections at all. It's a bit of a fiddle but before i replaced my rear callipers due to broken nipples I had to do it last year. But teh if it's a track car then remove the lot and re-do with a valve  .________________________________________ Black power baby!

You've got two brake lines running down the car, so would need a bias valve on each line to retain abs I'm pretty sure ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
