Braided Brake Lines

Wicked Mayhem · 07-10-2008, 11:53 PM

ok i did a little searching on here for where to buy stainless steel braided brake lines. im getting the 2 front lines from kore3. i am going to call tomorrow and see if i can the 3 rear blazer braided lines from them as well. but if not i want to know where to buy them. i kind of searched summit and jegs with no luck. im pretty sure i can get them from kore3. i just might need to give them lengths. this thread might be useless but o well. just in case...

I thought I bought a rear kit from Summit racing? Just because they do not list it, does not mean they cannot get it. Call their customer service #.

The rear kit may just be one piece as the hard lines terminate at the brake cylinders. The only flex piece is the one which mounts to the rear pumpkin and connect the right and left side lines. (this is what I got when I bought the kit)

Check earls plumbing? or Pegasus racing for stainless braided lines and parts.

I tried for a while to find "off the shelf" braided hoses for Blazer disc brakes, I'm probably just going to do the stock flex hoes until someone starts making them, I need to get my rear end in and don't really have time to wait for custom ones

yeah tobin at kore3 said when i get my calipers get some 5/16 fuel hose and use that to measure how long it needs to be. so ill turn the wheel all the way n stuff n measure it. and i meant to call today n see if they can make the factory rear lines braided but i forgot. ill call soon n see. but i want all braided lines.

W3RD, my blazer is not leaving the backyard until i order SD control arms, new spindles and get all steel braided brake hoses. I'm more worried about the fronts though. If i can order online i will. If not i'll try to have them made here locally. I figure a couple inches longer in the front will be fine. Let me know what happens.

jegs carries braided lines for s-10's 82-98,just an FYI

ill letcha know how long mine are going to end up being. duno how much difference it will be with my new calipers compared to the factory blazer ones. the rear lines will will just get factory length since they are fine.

***What?*** · 07-12-2008, 05:30 PM

go buy a used front brake hose from junkyard, bring it in to shop(brake lines/fitting/plumbing type) for making one, they just need exact shape and size of the ends so they can make it on the spot, all you need is the same length which is 6", make sure you ask/call if its DOT approved

however with variety of aftermarekt arms, the travel may change a bit, so best to measure at max psi load on front, near/full lock turn to measure if extra inches is needed for less stress on the lines

doesn't take long to make the lines either

those are front hoses, we're looking for rear hoses

BAKO_BLZR · 07-13-2008, 05:25 PM

I'm just too lazy to go measure how long my stock hoses are up front

Plus, if i can find someone online to make them at a decent price i'd rather do that. Just looking for some info. beforehand.

i called tobin up today and was gonna order my braided lines for my c5 calipers. and i asked about getting braided lines for the rear. and he has the 2 lines going from caliper to the rear end, and he's making sure the fittings are right on the one going from the rear end to frame before he sends me the lines. im getting all 5 lines for 154.90 shipped. i dont think thats a bad price for all new braided lines.

def. call them for your brake needs!

Wicked Mayhem · 08-08-2008, 02:12 PM

Braided lines don't swell. They stay the same diameter so give constant feel.

do a search on google. youll find some articles on it.

***What?*** · 10-14-2008, 02:12 AM

I got 2 front for less than 60, looks different than mine, Ill post it up later

Wicked Mayhem · 10-14-2008, 09:06 AM

yeah i seen braided lines on ebay for fairly cheap. but i know the lines i bought go on vettes and stuff, so i feel more comfortable knowing they are coming from a good shop. plus i can get them any length i want. i dont mind spending the extra coin for something my life depends on!
