Brake lines

Kenny Wigington · 12-09-2008, 07:02 PM

What size SS braided lines would be for replacing the stock rubber lines ?. I am getting some new aftermarket front brakes, and was looking for the size for both ends and an approximate length needed.

What bearing grease does everyone like ? Synthetic , I am guessing....

Thanks

There are companies like Goodridge that sells the specific brake lines, properly crimped and leak tested. For bearing grease, get the grease sold by Lamb.

Kenny,
We use -3 to each caliper (front or rear) and -4 for the front to rear run (each end of the hard line). Make sure teflon lined hose is used. They are relatively easy to make if you are careful and pay attention to what you do.
