| Post subject: | Replacing Brake, Fuel and Clutch Lines |
Ok, I have read previous posts on this topic but it would be nice if someone would be able to tell me the quantities of parts I need to replace:- - Single circuit brake lines - Fuel Lines - Clutch Lines I am planning to replace all of the connectors as I don't think it would make sense to replace the hose and leave 40 year old connectors on it... Of course I could go and count all the connectors but I don't know their sizes or any other special info required... Any help/advise would be much appreciated, Thanks, Alex |

My local brake bloke re-used 1/2 my connectors, just gave em a good linishing and they came up great. As long as the thread is fine, the brake pipe-nuts should last fine (and the hex isn't rounded) |

Do you have the front and rear subframes out of the car? |

Easiest way, if you taking the sub frames out to overhaul your suspension, remove all solid lines and take them to a good friendly brake center, get them to make you up some new lines out of bundy pipe, using your old lines as templates. This is all I did, although he didn't bend my pipes, cos there easy to do by hand, and I reused a fuel line. |

to answer Hanra - Yes the sub frames will be coming out, I will be doing the suspension at the same time... And taking them to a brake place sounds like the go... Is anyone able to give me an indication of cost, it won't discourage me they need doing, but I want to be prepared... And cheers for all the help it's sounding like an easy job now

It cost me about $30 for the 1 main brake line and 2 front solid lines (twin circuit though) but this price will be lower than retail. Mainly because he's our next door neighbor at work, and so we both do stuff for each etc. At a guess, for all the lines I'd say around the $80 mark all up, but that's only a guess. |

I took all mine into a brake shop also, they flared the ends and put the fittings on. It really didnt cost that much in the end. Cant remember exact price but wasnt to bad. This was almost 10yrs ago though.... Doh! |

Im about to do the same thing, I got a price the other day from a local brake specialist, bundy was approx $6 per metre, then you need to add whatever fittings and a little labour, stainless was around $20 to $22 per metre |
