Fuel Leak Pipe!

Hi all, I have very little experience with cars, and took my Mk1 golf to the garage today as it has a fuel leak. The upshot was that the pipe under the car was beyond repair (he said disintegrated ) and needs to be replaced, however they can't source the part. I was then told to source a pipe for them, about *holds hands just over a foot apart* wide, and that was all the information they would give me! I know this is very vague, but so were the garage, can anybody help with what it is i'm after?!
Thanks !

Have a chat with Rich at CrazyQuiffs, you will need to be more specific though.

yea seen the prices lol they are braided and should last so wont need replacing again for a while but if anyones knows elsewhere to get them but i have searched and searched so have to pay it really. would like to contact him still to try an work some kind of discount on a group buy maybe? or membership to the forum? or trade price to my boyfriends garage perhaps?  :wink:

ah found contact details in ordering link from ome page on web site. would anyone be interested in a group buy me and one other need some so got at least 2 peeps ready.....

Just had mine replaced with copper this week for less than he wants for the braided pipe lol

who did the copper pipes for you? did they make the flared ends or did you buy them ready to fit? details of supplyer would be appreciated. thanks

I had a friend do it, You can get the pipe from ebay but you will also need a flaring tool if you dont have one. You can get a flaring kit for about £10 it wont be the best thing in the world but for the odd use wont matter. pipe bender will only be about £5  its all brake pipe stuff so look for that.

For brake pipe sized pipe and fittings (3/16" and M10x1) any car parts store should be able to supply it, since its a very widely used (ie almost a standard) size. For non-standard stuff, the best I've found is Automec, although there are plenty of other smaller suppliers out there.
