Post Brake pipes
Decided to produce my own pipes. Found the tools in the UK and voila I can now make pipes for all A models including the thicker 4.5mm (Ami 6 pipes etc)

Reckon the one I've got is over 20 years old by now and still going strong. :)

Just be careful when winding pipe round a broom handle, to make the rear 'curlies', that the free end of the pipe doesn't get in your eye... :roll:

Yep, they always had to be recycled, even when buying 'ready made' rear pipes from Bonapart in the UK.

Prices from the new owners in la belle France seem to have increased dramatically, or is that just £ vs. Euro?

Talking of exchange rates, I've got 6,000 DK to shift and the exchange rate for that currency isn't too good either. We seem to lose out whatever happens. :(
