For the rear brakes we need a suitable T or X piece to get the feed from the mid axle to the rear, a flexi and another T at the rear end.

Does anyone have suggestions for which bits we want?

I have pipe, ends and a flarer...

Scrub that, just bought 2 x tees and a flexi that should see us sorted.

It will be easier to do the brake pipes before the rear floor is welded in...
