I'm still trying to work out whether to drop the fuel tank (it's nearly half full) and try and make single-piece brake pipes as nice as yours (unlikely because I've never before made a brake pipe in my life), or to follow Simon's (SD1too) how-to and just do from the bulkhead to the tank. Still waiting for the Kunifer to arrive.
The pipe if it's ropey under the car, it will be ropey where it traverses the chassis leg aft of the fuel tank at the rear flexi connection.

Simon is correct, the part of the pipe where it runs above the tank will be in good condition, but I've never encountered a car requiring front to rears, where the part at the back isn't clapped out too

My experience tells me the method Simon is advocating is poor practice, so now is the time to do the job properly.

If the car is currently roadworthy, take it for a spin to use up some fuel, or pump it into suitable containers, you will be no more at risk in your car than at home
