Figure out what length you need, then ring some brake joints and ask if they make lines. Most specialist brake joints can make flexible lines.

mate i will never deal with abs again they are rude sometimes and always charge you more if you are young. and if your car is a little suspect they wont let you leave with your car my mate on here mr. smith almost had a wheel fall of after they had serviced a hub and didnt tighten the bolts enouf. but thats just my point of view i had one made up and put it on myself from abs.
you should only be stuck if your on ur roof

Oh really.. .what a bunch of pricks. Not dealing with them in that case. Ill be fitting them myself, wont go caliper direct, will leave the steel hose there.. Slacks creek will be a goa for that money. Dogbreath ill let ya no m8, just the other day, fitted the suspension outa the roll into the new lux, and the lines are longer on the others... got to 1/2 droop and nearly lost a line. Went up the back but the old ones are shagged so ill just go new ones. Thanks for the help boys, take care!

Just make sure that if you go braided they are ADR approved, as not all braided lines are legal for road use.MKPatrolGuy wrote:Since you are getting new lines, get them in braided.

Agreed. But while I've been shopping around for some, I've found ads that say ADR approved and others that say DOT approved. Is this just wording or is there a variation? Who does some in Vic too? I can't find anyone here as cheap as the prices above. They're all about $70 each or more.

My Engineer told me in no uncertain terms DO NOT USE BRAIDED brakelines.
Not sure but I got the impression it was because they were not legal.... he would not pass them anyway.

Ii think your right bout that.

Provided they have ADR 07/00 marked on the hose they should be perfectly legal, even rubber lines need to have this number visible somewhere.rixrunner wrote:My Engineer told me in no uncertain terms DO NOT USE BRAIDED brakelines.

I would find another engineer with a brain.

Naaa.... won't be finding another, I am confident he will look after me .
However I will quiz him on why he says no braided next time I see him.

definatly don't go to ABS (especially @ brendale)
as sjjenkin mentioned ABS serviced a wheel hub and failed to tighten the wheel bearing nut enough which caused my wheel to nearly come off, luckily the brake caliper held it on long enough for me to slow down from 100k/ph
but yeah i will never be going back there again!!

Caboolture exhausts does rubber and braided in all sorts off colours if thats your fancy. They are all approved lines and tested to 3000psi and stamped with there approvel number.
2 weeks ago i had them do up 6 lines in total with all sorts of diffrent fittings for a mates buggy as we have gone full braided lines everywhere on it as so not to fark around with steel line anywhere. In total there was 13 metres of lines and came to a total of $480.00. They were done in about 3 hours. Great service and a top bunch of blokes and if the right person is in they can do them on the spot for you. I most certainly would send anybody who askes to them
You will get them on 07 54956511

My ADR approved braided lines from here cost about $45 each.dogbreath_48 wrote:I got quoted "about $35" per custom line (rubber) at Advanced Brake & Clutch Service in Croydon. Sounds reasonable to me.
