New custom brakelines!
Rubber fluid contact surface/stainless braid/plastic covering. All new, OEM style fittings with rubber chafe protection. Fronts extended 5", Rear extended 8"
Tested to 3000psi and DOT stamped.
Reflaring the rear brake hardline, it broke when I disconnected the old rubber hose. This was a hard job at first because the rent-a-tool flare kit at Autozone sucks. I bought a good one at Sears, practiced, and make a leakproof joint.
The Craftsman double-flare kit was a night and day difference from the Autozone renter (I'm not surprised) and I found a fantastic tubing cutter at my local Ace Hardware (also made in the USA) that blazes through the steel line nice and clean. I also prepped the lines with 220grit sandpaper and some tiny modeler's files.
Almost completed flare, just needs a bit more sanding of the bumps:
Finished and not leaking during repeated brake pedal holds:
The joint/union accomplishes two things:
1) It allows for the retention of the stock bracket
2) It allowed me to put a "factory" flare against my new brake line, and let the female-female union take the "brunt" of my homemade flares. They're good, but the steel is softer in the union and allows for a margin of error.
Notice my pimp energy suspension bumpstop, I had to cut off the Ford one to get the bracket out.
