Jimny brake line extension question

[gecko270]

I would like to know the thread patterns of the brake lines for the Jimny. Hopefully they are the same as the sierra. I want to add 1" spring spacers to the zook, but for that I need extended lines. I'm only running a 2" lift at the moment and at full articulation the lines are almost taught.

Rectifying this problem before i don't have any brakes at all would be nice. I know there are plenty of you who have done this in the past and any input for both the sierra and jimny would be nice. Hopefully they are the same. I don't see why Suzuki would change something like that. But you never know.

Cheers all

I think Barina/Swift brakelines are longer than the Sierras, and fit straight in Sierras. 2nd hand info, tho, as I've never tried it.
It could be cheaper to have new lines made up, using your fittings.
A rear line may be longer, and may be same on Sierras, never been under a Jimny...yet
Speak to a brake expert?

I've heard you talking before christover1. When are you going to see the light and jump in a Jimny?

I guess it is the front left your talking about. Back in the days I removed the factory one went down to repco and matched one a little longer. Try a brake place to. If I can do it, it's easy.

Every time the idea comes to mind, I smack myself down, get up and go for a drive in my Frog

If one front is longer than the other, then maybe use 2 lefts, or 2 rights as case may be?

[gecko270]

It's not just the front left. All 4 need replacing. All I want to know is what the thread pattern and size is of the connectors from body to line and line to brake housing. I can figure out lengths that I need later. I can't remove a brake line an pop in to repco or something because the store is about 20km's away. Bugger riding a pushie through the hills.

4 lines?? from memory we've both got '04 model jimnys with a 2" lift. ive only got one rubber line at the rear. drivers side from the chassis down to the axle to the brake . It then runs back along the axle to the passenger side in a small dia. metal tube/pipe. only the rear rubber line is taught, the fronts have plenty of slack left at full articulation. wierd that theyre so different on the same models and setup

[gecko270]

My mistake. Your right, there are only three lines. Why they wouldn't have the same setup on the front axle is beyond me. That is why Nissan Patrols are easier to lift I suppose, because they have that setup on both front and rear axles.

Doesn't anyone know the thread patterns I need?

i saw the light and got rid of my jimny.jap built rangie i reckon.
