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...

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! :roll:

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.
