Brake Line

[spursfan55]

Does anyone have or know where to get the hard line for the front caliper going to the hose? I need both sides. Almost ready to drop in engine. 74 260z

This is the s-shaped line, correct? I was able to get them from the dealer.

Just take off the old hard lines and drop them into a brake specialist. They will be able to bend you up a new set in very little time.

You can actually make your own if you have a tubing bender and a flaring tool.

I ended up making my own for one side because I could only buy one of them online.

In my case, I had a terrible time bending them properly until I bent the "S" bend in the center of a piece of brake line that was much too long for the job. I then cut the tubing to the correct length, put the fittings over the shortened ends of the tube, and flared the ends.

Every time that I tried to bend a section that was just long enough to reach I could not get the bends close enough to the ends of the tube.

But I am sure others are more talented than I am.

I going through this also in trying to finish up my brakes. I found these on the Internet and they look like its the tool to do the bridge tubes for the calipers and the rear wheel cylinders. I got to reverse the lines to the master cylinder also. Once I got the old tubes off they looked pretty sad. Eastwood has them on eBay for less than the store price.

I've been down this road. I broke one of mine clean in half once. The replacement was purchased from ZCarSource. That was easy for me because I live close enough to them at the time. Another cheap way out would be to find one at a junk yard. MSA even lists them under "brake tube bridge" on their website.
