PatK Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Many years ago, working on the Heralds brakes and not wishing to lose fluid when detaching pipework, I obtained from my local motor factor some small cone shaped rubber bungs that you could push into the end of the copper pipe and this would stop fluid loss and also made bleeding the brakes afterwards easier. Does anyone know if these are still obtainable, or you have a better way of sealing the disconnected pipe? Thanks Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Anything from a blanked off dummy union to a lump of blue tac or folded over screenwash tube Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatK Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks Chaps,all good stuff, I think that I will adopt Pete's suggestion and fold over some silicon tubing as i don't have golf tees or rubber end caps, bu next time I'm near a sports shop it will be golf tees!

Pete Lewis Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 If you get hooked just make sure the clubs fit in the boot If you stick some blue tac over the reservoir cap vent you can reduce a lot of leakage, do take it off when bleeding Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkel Kunkel Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 “Golf tees” triggers ancient joke memory.. - Young lady is very impressed to be given a lift in a a very expensive car whose owner is on his way to play golf. As they glide along he points out all the special luxury features of the limo. She picks up two golf tees that have fallen on the floor. ”Oh, What are these for..” ”They are to rest your balls on when driving” “Gosh ,Rolls Royce really do think of everything,don’t they?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 You hit a ball. Gawd knows where. You spend ages looking for it, you find it and then... hit it away again.... And people earn millions letting others watch them do it??? Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Returning with boring pedantry to the OQ.... Find some tubing that fits over the male connector, or fits into the female end. Cut short lengths, and fold them over so they kink. A twist of wire to keep them there, and Voila! Cheap, adaptable line seals! JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
