Title: 76 Convert Braided Stainless Brake lines
Post by: giusto on June 15, 2016, 11:51:22 AM: I was hoping someone could provide me with the lengths of the five brake lines on a convert...I'm sure someone has disassembled and measured them for fabrication with braided stainless steal lines. I saw chucks old post for a few good sources and I am always open for suggestions.
Thanks... I appreciate the help.

Dusty this is by no means covert :grin:

Then the ends , banjo etc screw into them. Good quality and easy, I don't have any length measurements, I'm away from anything but don't have them anyway, I was replacing some lines recently and wanted to relay that info.

Thanks John...I'll google the Goodridge lines. I have a local hydraulic company that may be able to build them.

As far as ordering lines check out these folks: http://www.helperformance.us/build-your-own/

They are a lot cheaper than Spiegler & make virtually any custom length & color.

Really....why wouldn't I trust someone else.
I wasn't being lazy, I was just asking for Information and I've gotten some pretty good responces.

Post by: twhitaker on June 16, 2016, 06:40:35 AM: Mike makes a good point. While I suggested yours would be the same as my Cali, that would be true if the bars are about the same as those on your Jackal.
