Hard Brake Line (right) NLA
Hello,
As luck would have it, I ended up stripping the nut on my right hard brake line. I'm now in the process of trying to find a replacement. I've tried autozone, and other local auto parts stores with no luck. Tomorrow I'm going to NAPA auto parts to see if their 800mm hard line will work (PN: ATM 113611724J). Has anyone attempted to use this line for the right side? If not, where can I source a better replacement? Thanks in advance, |

just make a new line with the old line as a pattern, that is what everyone does and why there NLA, no movement on dealer stock so they stopped making them. easy peasy

Any decent brake shop should be able to help.
-Cut and replace just the end. -Replace the whole thing. Here in MA is a very common job due to corrosion.

This is the hard line from the caliper to the flexible line. I believe our host, PMB and others have them. I tried local brake shops and all had standard lengths, but you have to bend.
Good luck Bob |

I have it laying around and you can have it if you pay postage to CA.

I have replaced every hard brake line on my cars with ones from local auto parts stores. No flaring necessary except for the long one through the tunnel. All others can be bought at length and bent.
