Where are you guys sourcing your braided brake lines?

the freeak · 08-14-2008, 01:13 PM

There used to be a vendor on here selling custom brake lines, with any length/connection needed.

I have searched at length in the vendors section, and cannot locate the thread he (Keithflux?) posted in.

I need to order my lines soon, so I can get the brakes plumbed in on my project.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Evco House of Hose, may not have in PA

jtaco1 · 08-14-2008, 01:31 PM

I got mine from Techna-Fit, told them what I wanted for my 4 Runner, 30" long SS line with poly sheath, from hard line junction directly to front caliper. Less than a week later I had them and was a great price.

If it's a trail rig you should just make your own with re-usable -3an fittings and teflon lined SS braded. In 7 years I've never had one fail.

stockcarproducts is were I source all my brake stuff.

Anything I need done custom here in PHX I use Parker Store.

Speedway has a variety of lengths and fitting configurations

Slowrockr · 08-14-2008, 01:38 PM

Buy some bulk hose, buy some ends and make them yourself. They have any kind of fitting you'd need, straight, 45, 90, even have the caliper fittings. I too have never had a line fail.

Take your old lines to your local hydraulic place and have them build them for you in whatever lenght you want.

GMCTruxrule · 08-14-2008, 02:25 PM

x2^^^^^ and probably cheaper

95geo · 08-14-2008, 02:30 PM

X2 on the reusable fittings and the teflon core covered with braided stainless. you can make your own in an hour or 2 and they look good too.

Tried this when I was short on time. It was a no go. They told me the hydraulic hose was not compatible with brake fluid. Even though it’s a hydraulic system, the fluid makes it a different animal. FWIW that’s what they told me.

X3, great prices doing that. You pay out the nose ordering from race shops.

A lot of hydraulic shops are set up to make DOT spec brake lines.

Makes sense; that’s what I was thinking when I went in there. They must not be.
