Brake line source & homemade slider thread . . (1 Viewer)

[Saito]

Couple things here:

Yes, I did search. Anyone have a recommendation on where to pick up new factory replacement brake lines ? I'm sure a local vendor has a hook up. They need replaced and the LSPV deleted before I get the lift on it.

I'm also looking for the rocker-chop home made slider thread(because I'd like to replicate the work done as my lower rockers are rusted and tucking sliders in there makes sense instead of repairing). Wish I'd followed the OP or saved the thread, but I didn't.

I sure appreciate the amazing help and advice I've received since joining this forum. You guys are great.

I haven't had any lines for my 80 made, but I've had a lot done for motorcycles, and I always take the old one to EVCO and have them replicate it. If there's one in your area, there ya go. You can request any type of line or length as well.

If I need something in a hurry I just take my sample to my local hydraulic shop (ORME for me) and I can have it in about 30mins.

I don't know what year 80 you have, but is this the thread you wanted? Extended brake lines OEM Toyota? ...or one of the threads mentioned in that thread?

if your deleting the lspv and going with the t fitting option you will need to extend one of the lines going into the t so might be worth your while to make your own.
Write-up: Toss the LSPV and install a manual proportioning valve, on the last page there are some pics of the t fitting and new lines run into it on my truck. i kept the abs and just got rid of the lspv

My 80 is a '96. Looking like I'll put in a proportioning valve like the thread mentioned above. I'd read that one before. Thanks. I swear I saw another thread where someone mentioned being able to get new factory steel brake lines . . .and I have extended brake lines from Slee. Not feeling like I'll get my OE lines apart without damaging them, so I was looking for replacements. I have a tubing Bender and a good flaring tool, but I like the quick way when it's available just trying to stack parts up so when I have time I'm not running to town for little sh*t. Usually unavoidable though . . .

And my post was meant to be dual purpose. I was looking for another thread where the OP had chopped their lower rocker panels(below the doors) and wedged some sliders in there made from 2x3 square tubing. Tried to look through my 'likes' but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I just suck at the internets.

If you are talking hard brake lines, toyota OEM lines are cheap.

That IS what I'm talking about. Sorry for any confusion there. Am I looking at stealership only or can I buy from a vendor on this site ?

Toyotapartsdeal.com. Just paid 150 including shipping about a month or so ago. Bought the other 3 from slee.com to cover my lift, its for a 4 inch but didn't want to chance it cause i'm not at factory height anymore,

Big red - where did you find the factory hard lines and/or do you have the part numbers?
