Morris Minor Owners Club

Does anybody know where I can get the brass connectors for joining brake lines,want to make some new pipes to fit a vacuum brake assist ?

Vehicle Wiring Services - although primarily an electrical supplier, they also do brake pipe and all fittings. Most motor factors will be able to supply you. I recommend making complete replacement pipes, NOT making a joint in the middle.

This may sound condescending/patronising, so apologies, but please make sure the threads do mate together. Cross threading a brass connector is easily done and can render your brakes usless at that critical moment.

Assuming reasonable leg action - you really shouldn't need a brake servo on a wee car like a Minor ! These cars were driven by little-old-ladies/District Nurse etc ... If the brakes are in good condition - they should easily lock all the wheels at 30 mph - without excessive leg force being necessary. Perhaps a good brake overhaul is what's really required???

Many thanks to all,will watch the threads,thanks for the contact and yes perhaps an overhall of the brakes is required.
