Soft brake lines.

Eddyj · Apr 14, 2016

I'm using nylon brakes on my rig. While I have had no issues with them i would like to upgrade to some better lines. They are always showing crown lines on tv.
Anybody care to recommend any? Or can you have them made locally(bham)?

Re:

Usually a hydraulic hose place can make some super quick.

There's a Royal Brass and Hose up here in E.Tenn that's really easy to deal with.

So what, you just ask for 1/4 hydraulic line?

I just took'em my old one and said I need these ends and this length and they took it in back for like 1 minute and had'em made.

since you are running nylon lines, I'd assume that you have adapters screwed into the master and calipers that adapt to the nylon compression fitting.

I'd start by getting the proper fitting to adapt to -3 or -4 AN (JIC)

Do you want crimped hoses or field serviceable?

Rockwells so you only have 2 brakelines on the rig, right?

and just curious, why do you feel the need to upgrade?

Royal brass is also brake quip or something like that. They make a **** ton of brake hoses.

If you know the length and what ends I'm sure they can make them up and ship them to you.

Calipers and mc are tapped for 1/8 npt
Crimped lines would be fine
Yes, only two lines no T's

I ordered all my stuff from Speedway and did nylon braided lines with make your on fitting.

Has a fitting at master cylinder and one at caliper. Solid line in between with no T or connections.

I used stainless braided lines on my buggy and I'm very happy with em so far. I did use -3 motorcycle stuff it was cheaper and easier to find the fittings I needed.
