Including ALL pipes (use kunifer) and all flexis - and master cylinder and all wheel cylinders (and hand brake cables?) - it's going to be ~ 4 to 6 hours work for a competent garage that knows what it is doing.... more for chancers of course. So - if they charge £30 an hour = ~£300. Plus the parts of course. It's all easy enough to do yourself -and save a small fortune !

If you take the DIY route remove the old pipes carefully and label them up. Suppliers sell kits, http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/ind ... c7f04fa21c
It's not that difficult, judging by your resto thread it's not beyond your capabilities.
