I'm going to offer you my guide to brake pipe renewal as I think it will save you asking a lot of questions.

Hi Simon...Along with the other members, just cannot thank you enough. Have printed off your detailed description of pipe renewal, it has already given me info that I wasn't aware of.Im going for copper as they are already made up for the 75 ,nothing much to do other than fight to get the old ones off,and replace as tidily as possible with replacement pipes (I hope).I should state ,to save a few anxious members, that due to my health situation I have "acquired" an ex Rover fitter who now does all my strenuous work for £60 per day, which I think is quite reasonable, and he doesn't drag the jobs out.
I have to say I have been with the Forum a fair old while now, through both diesel and petrol and not once have I ever been let down. Which I think states a lot for our Forum,so thank you once again

Found it!!
God bless the forum members, once on ramps relatively easy to find, in fact on my vehicle the exact position was as stated, Drivers side, directly above the drivers side engine tray rear securing tab!
Order now made for brake pipes and will get it under way next week. Thanks again Regards Derek
