Which Cooper Pipe And Fitting

[Dariooo 5]

Helo

 

I will buy brake pipe flaring tool kit (like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12PCE-BRAKE-PIPE-FLARING-TOOL-KIT-CUTTER-DE-BURRER-/270682854027?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f05f4928b). I will also buy a cooper pipe and a fittiing. Somebody know which dimension (pipe and a screw on a fitting) it's right for a 205?

 

Thank you

3/16" pipe and almost all the fittings are 10x1 male (one side of the 1.9 brake compensators being the odd one out - 12 something from memory - and base model rear wheel cylinders are a little larger too if it's a non-GTi you're doing)

 

You'll need about 25ft of copper pipe to do an entire 205.

I find that tool to be a right pain in the arse. There's another style of tool that's a lot better.

I find the tool at the top of page 100x better than the other one.

Perfect flare every time

I've never seen that tool before.

[Dariooo 5]

So which tool you mean? I had think you mean a tool which had I mension 2 post above? In shop of your link I can't find no other flaring tool.

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

In my link it was the tool with red grips.

The other tool you suggested will do the job but I've never used it.

A ok...

Now I understand. A problem is in her shop. Your tool I can't find in that shop. In a shop it's only one tool.

[Dariooo 5]

Now it's oke, I had find it in her catalogue in pdf format. It's £28. I will buy this probability...

Laser used to make them aswell

[welshpug 1,655]

the tool linked to are great, definitely worth the £120 if you're going to be doing a few brake lines

The laser one halfords used to sell were about 25 quid

25ft it's enough for 1.6 or for 1.9? 1.9 has two pipe for rear brake, 1.6 has only one pipe with T piece. I'm doing this for 1.9 gti. I'm also need a rear compensator, because I had now a compensator from 1.6 and I would replace it with some compensator from 1.9. Where can i buy it?

 

Thank you

I don't get something.

Part number 1, 2 and 3.

 

-Part 1 it's for 205 with abs

-Part 2 it's for 1.9

-Part 3 it's for 1.6 and another TU engine

 

It's ok? I have on my gti mounter brake kompenstor with number 3. I had also mounter front disc 283. I'm very disappointed with rear brake. It's maybe problem a compensator? It will be better if I mount some manual regulaotr of pressure?

 

Thank you

I had find this:

 

the 1.9 uses 2 preset PRV's . a fixed pressure restriction. one on each line to the rear.

 

the 1.6 has one canister fixed on the n/s chassis leg at an angle. inside this canister is a ballbearing/piston arrangement which will roll forward as the braking force increases , shutting down the fluid to the single rear line. on a 1.6 if you load (or lower) the rear the angle of the canister increases thus giving more braking power to the rears . kind of a load compensator .

 

as stated there is no load compensation on the 1.9's

 

So I think it's better to use 1.9 compensator, because it had a fix relation of pressure.

 

(All pressures in Bar)

Pressure in / Pressure out

 

5 / 5

10 / 10

15 / 15

20 / 20

25 / 21

50 / 26

90 / 34

 

What you think? Or it's better to use a manual pressure regulator?
