S.Steel brake lines

[Dirtcrasher]

As a machinist and fabricator myself, I think your setup is pretty sweet. Half the fun is getting it just the way you want it!!

Where do you buy that brake line material and also the ferrule and what size is the ferrule.

Only thing is most lines are just under 3 feet so 24$ just for the inside line seems expensive. Then I need the ends so I'd have to buy crappy lines and rape them.

Still pretty slick though.

I am sure that you can find it cheaper somewhere ,but A-1 Coupling & Hose in Eugene Oregon (541-485-7133) is the only place i`ve found that has bulk S.Steel brake line .The ferrules are just scrap copper or brass that I turn down to .575in x1.25in long .I just use the old brake line and cut the fittings off,you can make them in a pinch if you need to.

Nice idea , Here is what I did to make up a custom line. Russell makes chrome fittings that thread into a SS line that is plastic coated. The lines already have the ends crimped on and are avaliable in many lengths. Just order the ends you need and the length of the line and you are done. Akso you can get fittings to add in a brake switch if you like.

Page 17-18. I used the -3 fittings not the compression fittings. Its super easy!!!!!

Looks like a good simple system to use

where did you get the dye?

the simplest way may be to go on line at Rit Dye and order what you want . I got mine on line and at a Bi-mart store . It may be at a Target, fabric , or other large chain store.
