Recommended Posts

short of ordering a custom one from spiegler or something,. where can i get a brake line thats at least 5 feet long, hopefully more like 5.5 or 6, with banjo fittings on the ends?

or do i just unscrew the bolt with the hole that would go through the center of the banjo fitting and just straight screw in the brake line?

Aeroquip or Earl's Performance.

Summit Racing in Northern Ohio, I'd use the catalog on line and mail order it rather than drive there.

Aircraft supply stores around the airports. Aeroquip probably makes one of those. If they don't have one, should be able to order it. Aircraft parts cost more than car parts, even if it's the same part.

You didn't say what size. Need specs for it. But here is an example:

looks like 20 degree -3 AN 10 mm

edit: I just looked, Summit has brake lines that are 48 inches long. That's the normal max. There is one at 86 inches, too long.

its is a -3AN 10MM 35 degree flare, and then a straight one.

i got a 6 foot one at jegs. should be more than enough. im just gonna cut it to whatever length it needs to be :)

I'm not going to list them all, but I've used Fournier before.

Take your brake hose with you, it's possible they might crimp it there for a few bucks.

edit: a lot of these places don't do walk-ins anymore, call ahead and check first.

I don't have the number off hand but Hel will make you what ever you want for the same cost as off the shelf. I had custom lines made for my R6 and they came out cheaper than if I would have bought them from one of the box stores.
