Hi, About 3 years and less than 15,000 miles ago I bought a DiFatta air inlet hose for a 24v Alfa 164, 3.0 manual, 1994. It started showing signs of perishing within a year and began suspecting it had split. Ridiculous considering the original lasted 20 years before failing. Today, having been...

Hi, the old 164 steel brake pipes are looking exactly that. Am looking to by a brake pipe making tool to construct new ones but what size to buy for a 164?

Is is just my car or is it normal to have a mixture of Metric and UNF brake pipe nuts / flare nuts? My car, a '72 GTV2000 has dual brake circuits and ATE calipers. All looks original including the plastic sleeves on some of the pipes. The calipers are M10 x 1.0 pitch male tube nuts the rest...
