Alright, I just got done extending my swinger on my Z 6inches now i need a place to get a brake line. Does anyone have a website link or a phone number where i can order a longer brake line. Or get a custom one made. Any info would be greatly appreciated.





Thanks Drew

Go to any auto store or hot rod store and get some nice steele braided ones. They arent too much more than 50$ for a set and work great.

They shoud have the same fittings...I have to do this also but not at this stage yet...Any hydrolic line shop should be able to help you out...

Yes they will have the fittings you need. All you need to do is get a universal fitting that will work with the size you need. You might need to take your brake system in just to make sure you get the correct size. Oh and bleeding process will be alot longer since the diameter of the hose is larger. But once its done they will feel really nice.........peace

If you go to any hydraulic shop that sells Parker or Earl's fitttings they will have the right ones. I think all you need are to 10mm banjo fittings and some 1/16" braided line. You could order the stuff straight from Earl's and have it next day as well. There pretty much has to be a shop locally that will do that.

Try the Summit catolog.They distribute Earls fittings like Firehead said.You just measure the stud size of the banjo bolt (the hollow bolt)you have so you get the rite size banjo fittings on the end of your new line,and the length.They probly have metric sizes but if not you can use a 5/16 were you had a 8mill and you could make a 3/8 probly work were a 10 mill was.I'v also seen some S S braided out bord motor tilt and trim lines that looked like they would make nice brake lines.Good luck dog.
