DetroitComanche Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I dropped my recently purchased Comanche off at my trusted garage for evaluation. Per the mechanic, the rear brake lines should be replaced. The tech said he could not find the rear lines through his usual suppliers. Does anyone have a source for this part?

oleskool Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The hard line on the axle? The rubber line running to the hardline on the axle or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gojira94 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 AGS Poly Armor 3/16" line comes in 25' and larger bulk sizes and stainless gravel guard wire to go around it is ubiquitous. Any decent shop should know how to make a pair of 3 foot brake lines. Ours are 3/8" fittings at both ends/ both sides. I made mine from said bits in about 20 minutes using the old ones as guides for the bends, did them by hand and double flared them with a good handheld flaring tool.

I have no real quarrel with nicopp but prefer the coated lines without any copper content. Not quite as easy for small radius bends by hand but I get by bending it against a socket of appropriate size to avoid kinks. All by hand, no tubing benders. I used about 32' to completely re-create all brake plumbing on my project. AutoZone has the 25' rolls for $28.00 USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitComanche Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 The line they needed turned out to be the rubber line from the height proportion valve to the metal brake lines. Easily enough this was available from Rock Auto. The proportioning device is still missing an arm, but I'm on the road now. I will consult the threads regarding the height control valve regarding replacing the arm that goes from height perportioning valve to the axle. Thank you for the general brake line recommendations.
