Here is way to make your own brake lines if you have access to a lathe and press.I used Rit dye to color the vinyl hose.Very easy to do.

Didn`t intend to make them for anyone , only show what could be done and to round up parts. As far as being strong I am using commercial S.Steel brake line at $8/ft and the original line ends with silver soldered brass or berillum copper ferrules crimped in a press at about 15 tons. I did the front brake line on my KTM Tecate with no problems at all. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=51730

Just redid my crimp tool so the line does not leak .Did a cut away to see that the new crimp is at the same spec as original factory crimp.Should be as good as original factory.

Here are a few photos of the crimper . It worked out that two holes,one relieved on the edges , made the smoothest crimp.Use the relieved hole to start and finish with the full crimp hole. The new crimp tool takes about 20 tons min.

Here are the dimensions for the copper ferrule and crimper .The factory crimp was crimped .050in (.025 per side) . The dimensions of the ferrule and crimper work out to give .050 crimp on a beryllium copper ferrule, should work the same for brass. The S.Steel line is 1/8 ID ,1/4 OD (about .270in)

Here is a good way to trim the S.Steel brake lines to keep them from fraying.Makes it a lot easier to slide in the ferrule. Hole size is 17/32in (.265)
