Where you 4x4ers getting them at?? ima need some for a 2wd, looking to pick some up. You guys know what thread is on the fittings that go from the hard line to the soft line?? I want to say its a inverted flare, like 3/8, but honestly don't have an idea.

 

I think its metric.

I get all mine from a local shop here, probably run around 100 for the set. I have gotten many sets made for members if you are interested.

DOT approved Stainless Steel Brakes lines.

thats where i got mine.
I think you want AN3 fittings, thats what fit the stock ranger lines off the frame up front.

problem is, the catalog is easier to navigate than the website is..

 

So these lines, no modification needed? I'm thinking about upgrading soon. $100ish for the set?

So those lines work with no modification? Do you remember a price?

EDIT: Nevermind the price thing, I looked at the website. The ones linked to are exactly what you used? And they are flex lines right?

 

Anyone have pics of them on the truck?

 

No modification is needed, bolt on.

 

Okay, actually, i think AN-3 is right. i remember a flare, and assumed inverted.

But don't we have banjo fittings on the caliper though? I'm jjust in need or a front set...

 

yep, "straight line" is the braided junk.

18" is long enough for me at full droop w/o the limit straps and still have tons of slack.

They screwed right onto the solid line that the rubber hose screwed to.

on the axle end i used the banjo fittings i had got from another company.. I would assume both ends are AN3 if one end is.

annddd its like $35 shipped, the shipping was really cheap and i normally got it the next day or day after i guess i was just really close.

 

So for the banjo fitting on the caliper you need a sort of "adapter" to make it work correctly? Factory calipers at least.

 

yeah, mine are made to order.

im trying to find a pic. lol

 

here is a pick of a short one on my rear axle.

 

Dang, i only need like something like 12inch at most for my front!! lol.

Where do we get these banjo fitting to AN-3 adaptors??

Are these "straight line" braided not a good brand? inferior product or something??

 

you can get banjo bolts with AN3 threads.

and the ones from speedway, I haven't had an issue with any of them yet.. been running them for what? 8 months now? I have them going to both front wheels, also from the frame down to the axle, then from the T off to both rear wheels.

one of the expensive "DOT" approved ones i originally bought did leak though. damn company was impossible to get a hold of though.


Zach, why do you have the lines so low on the axle? are you not afraid of something snagging them?

 

those lines technically are not street legal.

they dont have the sleeve over them to keep them from fraying.

 

who did you order from? if its DOT approved it tested at a crazy PSI before its stamped.

 

Yes, the banjo fitting adapter is a must! If you have a link I'll get them soon!

EDIT: Beard....I'll probably be in contact when I'm ready. I should just drive out there, it's not that far.

 

sounds good, whenever.

He makes them on the fly, so i can stop in and get them or when you come we can get them. Either one.

 

some company that does toyota crap in Colorado. forgot the name, the site said they were DOT approved though.

 

blah, we need an option to delete posts.

 

lol, ive got similar issues but to me brakes are a must and they must work well and i want to rely on them.

My current stainless steel lines have been used as limit straps in the past, still work great and are holding up great.

 

haha, i made sure to put plenty of slack in there to keep that from happening.

 

Did any of you guys replace the soft line that goes from the frame to the rear axle before it splits to the two sides? I figure if i'm in there replacing soft lines with braided SS, might as well go all the way!!

And Z, your made-to-order lines come with banjo fittings already crimped on? come with the bolts also??

 

yeah i did. i have no rubber lines.

as for my lines yes they are crimped on banjo fittings. looks just like a stock line but with SS braided line.

as for the rear seems like that is around 50.

if you want banjo bolts i can get those too.

 

Alright, i'm definitely going to get in touch with you Zach come time to do my rear end swap during the start of summer (once out of college). Going to replace all rubber lines with stainless lines...should be an improvement...

 

what are the stock fittings An3? adn the banjo bolt im guesin its the 90* tube at the caliper?
