Making stainless flex brake lines

[rapid_ascent]

Take a look at the Earls braided lines and fittings. I made the interior brake lines for my brake pedals. I looked around comparing other systems before selecting them. They are easy to put together and to me they seem very robust. I wouldn?t say they are inexpensive though.

Give these guys a call: http://www.techna-fit.com/
They made ones for my -6 that were ~6" long for about $10/each. Not in their catalog; just call them.

Mani---you CAN make your own with reusable hose ends. Getting the parts is the big thing AND dont mix fittings and hose from different manufacturers. Even though the ID of the hose may be the same, MOST everyones hose has a slightly different OD. Mixing the fittings and hose might create a retention issue of the fitting under pressure---even as little as 500 psi.

I had Pegasus make braided stainless brake lines for my -4 a few years ago. You can order any length and with any fittings. Mine go from the master cylinders all the way to the brake, no more plastic lines. Very reasonably priced.

I made my own as well, from the fuselage to the caliper. Aeroquip with the reusable PTFE fittings. Easy to assemble with regular tools and has been trouble free.
