I would change them if they are the ones in the last picture! They are easy to change with the body off, a right pain with it on.

Use copper alloy tubing, the only thing to watch is suzuki brake pipe fittings are short and threaded right to the ends, the more common type have no threads for the first 5mm, so only screw in a couple of turns.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

So after about 19 days and not all full days, I have 2 Jimnys separated and a chassis about to go to the shot blaster and with a bit of luck start the reassembly end of the week.

Excellent work, fair play. Where abouts in Ireland are you?
