Brake line kits (1 Viewer)

When I replaced my lines, I did NiCop for the lines on the frame and steel on the axles. I think nicop is too soft and crushable for the axles and the steel is more robust and can handle trail rash better. Whether you trial ride or not.

I used the Classictube SS lines a few years ago. They still look good. The only complaint I have is the fittings are 11mm.
It took a little bending to get them just right but I imagine thats to be expected on pre-bent lines from any supplier.
They have gone up substantially in price from when I bought mine..

The skinny pins that hold the springs for the climbing pins bend, I drilled them out and installed larger diameter roll pins in their place.

I can't count how many times I've had to point out the brake lines on the axles, to prevent someone from crushing them.

I went steel all around. Hell, the original steel ones lasted at least 30 years. I figure I'll be dead by the time they rust through.

I have a 77 FJ40, are all the fittings 10mm x 1 on that year? I’m looking to replace all the steel lines soon

They definitely should be.
I’m not certain he’s still at it, but maybe reach out to @Rainman.
Otherwise, after doing a few lines myself, I just got all the stuff to make my own. It’s not hard.
