After Buying all the parts needed to fix the drums on my 1.4 corsa sport i find that i need a new rigid brake pipe.

Yeah thats right.
It just comes on a long roll.
It has to be cut/bent to your requirements, then fitted with unions and the ends flared.

Its easy enough to do. you probably wont be able to undo the other end of the solid pipe so the best bet is to cut it as close to the union as possible and get a socket on it to unscrew the union. then go to a car shop with the pipe and the ends and they will make you one up, you just bend it into place as you fit it.
