Just wondering if anyone can tell me the size of pipe i need for replacing the existing copper brake pipes?

 

Also, where will i get the correct flaring tool for making the ends?

Its 3/16 youll need.A good flaring tool wont come cheap.The sykes Pickavant one was the best.Some cheaper alternatives are available and work best with pure copper pipe only.The final quality of the flare depends greatly on the cutting and prep of the pipe.Go to B&Q and buy a pipe cutter,around £2 iirc.Gives the pipe a neat cut and saves sawing.I will look for a flaring tool for you in a mo.

you'll not struggle to find 3/16 brake pipe, most cars have that size.

These can be good with a bit of practice,These are the ones that work best with pure copper pipe as its softer.Teng tools are good quality too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TENG-TOOLS-10PC-DOUBLE-FLARING-TOOLSET-NEW-HALF-PRICE_W0QQitemZ270517108217QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item3efc137df9
