 Brake pipe union
Hi, my brake pipe union is missing   The rear axle has two pipes coming out from it but how do they attach to the splitter?

 Re: Brake pipe union
the union is a very expensive part jack, it has a bolt to secure it in place, the pipes need threaded male ferrules aNd the tip of the brake pipe has to be flared with a special tool(ebay)- my brothers 3 wheel special has all new brake pipes we installed all of them try getting one from someone who is breaking a car btw your pic shows a splitter with plugs installed to keep any dust out

 Re: Brake pipe union
I was wrong, in fact one of the rear pipes is brand new!
