Hello,
I'm looking for a new hanger for the brake flexi pipe to copper pipe, as shown here to the right of item 22
Do these exist to buy? I've had a little look on ESM's site but to no joy.
If not, I can fabricate one, but I'd rather not...
TIA[frame]

Hiya, I didn't think people were still making these? You might just be better off saving time and fabricating one
As an idea you could try club spares or Fleebay

There may be someone (perhaps on the 'other side') who is modifying their car beyond original spec, and may let you have theirs?

It's only a bit of bent metal with a hole in it, doesn't have to be an exact match to the original, so hacksaw, drill, hammer, and 20 minutes - it will take longer than that surfing the web to look for one.

Good point. I'll have a go tomorrow.

When I converted my Mini to Fiesta front discs - I made brackets like this from small aluminium angle - dead easy to make and attach with a nut and bolt. Doesn't have to be aluminium of course!

Anyone who makes the front inner wings should be able to supply these as they are included on that panel. I tend to make up a batch and hang them on a nail for using either on panels or cars, but they're easy enough to make up when you need one.
