Stainless steel hard brake lines - UK supplier?

[86_knd]

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of stainless steel hard lines? I've spent forever looking - it surely shouldn't be this difficult to find some?
I'm looking for both 4.75mm (3/16th) and 6mm line.

Cheers!

You need a better search engine. A search for 'Stainless steel hard brake line' takes me to dozens of UK sellers. Goodrich and Serck appear at the top of the list. I suspect most brake component and motorsport suppliers would be able to provide it. I wouldn't be surprised if your local motorfactor supplied it too.

Serck don't do 6mm, Goodrich sells only -3 pipe. Everything else I'm seeing is braided line.

Metals4U offer 6mm x 1mm 316. I don't know where they source it from. BES offer it too. I suspect it may be used for gas supplies. These are just the first two hits in a search for 'stainless steel pipe 6mm'. I didn't check the other size you mentioned, but this doesn't feel like it should be hard to source. If you get stuck you could go for any similar size and use an adapter at the end fitting.

-3 would be a typical size used for brakes. Ask Goodridge on the actual ID/OD of the pipe.
