75 / 911s front caliper hard lines

[jimtweet]

Is there a source for the front hard lines or is this a make yourself part

[stubble88]

I made lines for the rear. It’s pretty easy. And fun. Buy a good kit from Amazon then return it when done.

They’re available just Google them.

I made my own from bendable straight brake line using the old ones as a pattern. I even made myself a small tubing bender to make the lines. The tubing I used had a polymer coating to prevent corrosion (the original lines did not have the coating and were badly pitted).

Buy something, use it, and return it? Really? That's crummy.

Most auto parts stores will happily loan you the needed tools for free as well.

These are not correct for S calipers

I don’t operate this way, and think it’s pretty terrible way. Sorry.

They seem to be NLA. The repop "S" calipers I got for Project Heavy Metal had a flare fitting, instead of the attachment for the banjo, so I made my own lines, easy peasy. If your calipers just have a plain threaded hole and require a banjo fitting you can still peice them together with parts.

Try a couple of 914.355.531.00's I think, and banjo bolts, then make your own lines from there.

I just ordered supplies. Not that I can’t make them was just hoping for a “easy” order button

I've gone through the trouble of re-making all the lines for my '73, but when my friend needed the hard lines for his '87 front calipers I took a short cut. I wasn't looking forward to flaring as it can be a pains so ordered 2 of these and then bent them to fit.

I made my own on my 1973 because I wanted to make them out of Cu-Ni lines, so corrosion will never be a problem.

The problem with the world today is that no one has any shame anymore. Really??? Buy it, use it, then return it...and then recommend to others to do the same? WOW.
