extended brake lines fzj80 (1 Viewer)

[FMC80]

Waking up a bit of a dead thread here... but @lacresta did you ever find a solution?

I'm installing extended brake lines on my '94, with a slinky kit I actually bought from @FMC80 and the passenger side front line has the double female ends, but the coupling piece is too short to fit through the bracket properly...

New ones on right... not only too short but mounting collar is shaped differently than bracket opening...

I read through this entire thread, and others, without finding a definitive solution...

@landtank referenced a bracket replacement

PN 47356-6011

But I assume that only for the frame side. Is there one for the axle as well?

Has anyone actually solved this issue, which seems to be unique to the 93-94 model years?

I'm leaning towards modifying the current bracket to get the female ends to mount up... but would LOVE to hear if any 93-94 owners have found a definitive solution here.

This is what mine looks like. I don’t remember running into any issues.

Hmmm. Is that your '94?

For some reason mine has a different shape to the mounting surface. This is the result... end won't poke through far enough to get the retainer clip in.

Definitely my 94’

No mod to the frame side. If it’s short it’s not the extended version hose

The new brake line itself if plenty long... it's the female fitting. It's physically a shorter female piece.

Is the brake line in question part of the kit I sold you?

It came as part of the kit I bought via Australian merchants.

If it’s wrong hit me up. I may have an extra brand new TOYOTA OEM extended brake line to replace it with.

Yeah that's the one. The other two lines fit perfect, but that passenger front one isn't happy. I'm going to head back out this morning and figure it out... probably just hog out the brackets.

If you do have that OEM one laying around would you mind taking a picture of the female ends?

I looked through my stash. I only found the m/f ones. Sorry man.

No worries, I ended up hogging out the original brackets with a 3/4" bit.

Why is this still a topic at the end of 2021?

There are three options:

1. Make your own/have them made
2. OEM iterations
3. Aftermarket (plug your favorite company).

That’s it. End of story.

Not that I expect useful answers anymore, but thought I'd ask. (Change my mind...)

Would you happen to know the lengths of the stock oem lines for the FZJ80?

Probably not a common question...I did search...

I am refreshing the brakes (rotors, pads, calipers, lines, etc). It will likely be another year or so until I add the 3inch-ish Dobinsons lift. Was wondering if I can go ahead and add extended lines now and be done vs. replacing these lines next year, bleed, etc. Curious if the extra few inches on a stock vehicle will get snagged on something or get close to a heat source? Thanks in advance.

I don’t think you’ll have any clearance issues and it’ll be easy enough to mitigate during install by looping or repositioning a clamp or two.

That's the answer I was hoping for. Will add Slee SS lines to the list. Thank you!
