Brake Pipes
« on: January 30, 2010, 08:06:57 PM »
Right, So I really need to crack on with getting my car done now but I'm not looking forward to the brake pipe part at all! The welding I can do, the emissions I can do, the light I've fixed and the seat I've fixed but I know the brake pipes are going to cause problems!

Does anyone have a rough price a garage would charge to replace them for me if I provided all the parts? surely then it's just labour charges?

youre talking at a cheap garage at least £40 +vat per hour upwards
and say 2 hours work at most depends on how much they have to replace?
