'67 FJ40 extended Brake Lines

fireflyr · 06-25-08, 03:39 PM

I'm installing a Man-A-Fre 4" Safari suspension on my '67 and need longer brake lines. I ordered the NAPA 10mm x 1.0 to 9mm adapters (4) pn BK 6415023. Can I now order the stainless brake lines for a 7/70 to 8/75 '40? Will they work at the wheel side without an adapter?

Thanks,

Pat

I did a search and looked at the faq's but was unsure on these issues.

We make regular SS hoses for use with our 4" springs on the 1969-older rigs. The frame end is 9mm and the brake end is 11mm. Those are 28" long fronts, it takes some additional fiddling around on the rear since we don't have 9mm female fittings available to us. For the rears we swagelock onto the stock steel tube, that gets us to 1/8th NPT. We then can make a hose that is 1/8th female top and 11mm male bottom. If any of this stirs your interest, send me a PM.
