As I have a multitude of Citroen’s now I have decided to obtain a pipe flaring tool. Can some one here point me to one I can purchase online
Also as an enquiry could someone tell me the dimensions of the various pipes for DS 2CV and H van so I know what to look out for, thank you

Here you can buy it:

http://www.citroworld.com/product_info.php?prod_id=1079&redirect_cat=22
It can flare pipes of 4,5 and 3,5 mm as well as brake lines for a H van. It’s expensive.

there is something less sophisticated available somewhere, also capable of doing the job.
http://www.citroen-restoration.co.uk/ds/item.php?category=5 (scroll down)
Maybe you can contact the owner of that web site. It is probably much cheaper.

is this for all citroens the same? I mean, is that little bubble the same for ds and cx? and all the others?

Would a universal pipe flaring tool such as from Midlock not work?? I have one to flare brake pipes, and once you get the hang of it it really works a treat…

Derk, no it wouldn’t. Universal brake pipes uses a different flange than citroen does. Im afraid you’ll need a citroen piping tool.

Right! Good to know… But I’ll get one from one of the addresses above, as soon as the Goddess gets stripped down. No problem then

check prices at chyparse first. I am not sure, but I think they are cheaper. also for greeney, they do ship to france.

I also found this one “automec” is a very well known company in the UK
Not sure of the price though as the “Buy it now” link is for the standard flarer not the Citroen one but I will email them

and then let us know. however you can get the stamps (?) at chyparse, because the press itself is the same, I believe.

just heard that a stamp is called a stock. I learn every day. 

I have found a good priced flaring tool but I need to know all DS pipe sizes do I need 3.5, 4.5, and 6.5 or can I miss the last one out as apparently it is quite expesive.
Thank you

Greeney,
for DS you’ll only need the 4,5 mm tool.
The 3,5 mm is for CX and 2cv and others.
The 6,5 mm is for the HP pipe from HP pump to HP regulator(DS). Result of using this tool is poor…. (pipe size is too big, risc of damaging the pipe). Better have a good used one (HP pipe)in your trunk in case of emergency…
Good luck
Ton

and where did you find this tool? we want to know everything! and for what price do you get your pipes? and is that at the same address? tell us more!

I am awaiting a “special” price from automec for the flaring tool and yes it is the same place for the pipes
Will update you later

Good Price

Right.. here goes I received an email to confirm I can have the Citroen tool WITH 3.5, 4.5 long and short stock for a really good £130+ vat and £20 carriage
They normally retail at £179 + vat just for the tool the stocks are extra £20+
This is a “to me price” so if anyone wants one I will have to order it and you can have it for the same price, if I get more than 5 orders I can get them for £110 and the price of carriage is the same as long as the parcel is under 30kg
