A lot of auto spares shops will make them as you wait ( well the one opposite my house and another the other side of town do)
Just take your old one in
Think it's less than £20 to buy the tool that puts the splayed ends on your self
You would need a micro bore pipe bender as well ( less than £20 )

Sometimes it is better to use a Ring spanner to remove the nuts.

Good Luck.

I'm not familiar with removing Bongo brake pipes but how do you get a ring spanner onto a nut thats holding a pipe on?

I guess by removing the other end first?

Another thought, if the pipe is scrap you could cut it.

I have always used normal 'C' ended brake spanners .. or mole grips on other peoples knackered pipes ..

But this looks good value ..

Just ordered one as my sons Smart car rear (drum brake) wheel cylinders are seeping and rather than re rubbering them we have bought two new complete ones to replace them...

good link,, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEALEY-VS0342 ... .....shame the nut is 10mm..
and checked to day and it has been put in cross threaded

so hay ho out comes the hacksaw done in no time only problem now is the tw**t that worked on it before has also rounded off one of the bolts holding the back plate on

and also I haven't got the size to get a socket for the large nut either yet

...will have to purchase a nut splitter (for the small nut) this job is growing daily
