So having made (fabricated sounds much more competetent than it was) and welded on a new control arm bracket, I managed to nick one of my flexi hoses while cleaning up with a flap disk. Of course this is attached to the rustiest brake union on the car. Even if I get it off with some heat and molegrips tomorrow I don't like the idea of mole-gripping the nut tight again.
The pipe runs half the length of the car and you can't get at it with the fuel tank in. Fortuntaley I have the fuel tank out! The original pipes are plastic coated. I've never seen replacement plastic coated pipes. Given the inaccessible location should I be treating bare replacement pipes with something? Hammerite? Dinitrol chassis wax? Really don't want to have to change the pipe again.
