Title: Brake line extension?
Post by: Mr Alford on November 09, 2008, 15:14:28: i need to extend my brake lines, i have two lines per brake per side compared to some who just have the one

i am intreagued as to what tubing to use or weather the braided lines extended 40mm will be enough?

i am going for a new suspension setup on the front, bearmach springs, i already have -2" turrents and im going to add dislocation cones

i have noticed bull frog has done this, what had been used and is it any good?

I got mine form Matt Savage.

I got mine form Matt Savage.

Mine are +4" Goodrich braided and came as a set from Paddocks. They were around Â£50 for 5, (4 front and 1 rear)

As said above you can get them made to any size, but I took the 'off the shelf' option.

I think they were Â£11 each any length up to 1 mtr. with swivels at the top so they don't kink when you tighten the up.

Good service too :clap:
