Hi all, another mot out of the way, advisory on rear suspension steel pipe corroded. Having replaced all rear axle pipes last year I can only assume it is the cylinder feed pipe, I will ask, car was dropped back at home while I was at work so couldn't query. However the point is, these pipes are no longer available and haven't found a supplier on my internet search. Am considering going to the local hyd specialist and getting a full length flex hose made up, anyone been down this route ?

Excellent news on the MOT Robert

I'm sure someone like Pirtek will be able to fabricate up a replacement pipe but then again A flexible one should be fine...

Those pipes are pretty thick so a bit of cleaning and painting should be good to see it Ok for a while yet...

I wouldnt worry about feed pipe corrosion on them.. they are rather thick walled..

However.. if you feel you do want a spare ive LOADS of feed pipes front and rears from subframes and strip downs ive done ..

Thanks guys, i'll set too with emery and wire brush, and thanks Paul, will get back to you if needs must.
