Trying to Find a Source for Rigid Brake Line

[Niferous]

I was replacing the upper rubber brake line that goes from my frame down to the tee fitting that bolts to the differential and have run into a problem. It looks like somewhere along the line the rigid line that goes from the frame down to the rubber hose was kinked and when I tried loosening the nut the thing twisted and broke in half. Does anyone know where I should go to get this part? I'm thinking Toyota maybe but it may only be available used. If anyone knows what size fitting the brake lines utilize I could possible make a replacement.

I'm not near my truck to completely grasp which hardline it is, but it might still be available from Toyota.

Which hose is it exactly in the picture? 47343A?\

Even if it is/isn't available, you can go to local parts store and get a piece of metric brake line and bend/flare to specific needs. I believe it is M10x1.

Thanks, mattressking. I was just about to post the below diagram I found on Spectre's website. It is part 39 in the photo below and part 47313 in the photo you posted. Is 47313 the Toyota stock code?

 

[mattressking]

Ah, OK.

There's a VIN split at 85, here are the two part numbers:

80-85: 47313-60090
85-87: 47313-60091

Not sure if still available, I'd give @beno a ring and see if he can locate or local dealer.

Nonetheless, bending up a line would be easy for that as well.

I called my local Toyota dealership and they said that the part was discontinued and that no dealers showed one in stock. I'm looking for fittings and tubing to just make my own if possible. I see you said the fittings were M10x1, but what size would the tubing be? Of course finding one in good shape used may be easier.

 

[Niferous]

I just went and measured the part. The brake line fittings are indeed M10 X 1.0. I measured the tubing and it seems to 5mm OD. Now to find fittings.

Any decent mechanic can make that line in less than 30m. I bought a rigid flaring tool and made the hard lines for the FF rear axle swap in less than an hour and that included sitting under next to the axle bending the lines.

Very easy with NiCu alloy brake line versus when I had the front bent with mild steel years ago when I went SOA.

If you want, measure the length needed and I can send it to you, then you can bend to shape and install.

On second thought, I may actually have that exact piece off my parts truck in the garage...

pm me and I can help ya out.

I would go to an autoparts store and get a piece of straight brake tube with the M10x1.0 fittings on each end. Cut and bend to fit then flare the cut end with the fitting. What ever diameter tubing that comes with the fittings will work.

Instead of cutting and flaring, if you can find one short enough you might be able to coil it (like is shown with 35 & 36 to take up the slack. It depends how much room you have.

 

[Randy88FJ62]

For reference I used Ø3/16" line and M10x1.0mm fittings.

I did something similar to Randy but went to Inline tubing and got some extra fittings and bulk line.

Making your own brake lines if a must skill I think for a FJ4x/6x series. It is not hard at all.

By inline tubing I assume you mean a whole roll? Just checking. I'm surprised nobody make a steel braided hose or some kind of push connect fitting hose for brake lines.

I sent you a PM, thanks.

My mistake Classic tube is where I bought it from.


2 10 ST8036 - 10MM X 1.0 SAE or ISO Male w/ 10MM Hex - $0.99000/ EA $9.90
for 3/16'' Tube - Olive

1 1 C3 - Coil Only - Steel (OE) 25' Coil - 3/16'' X .028'' Tube $13.99000/ EA $13.99

Total price shipped to my door 23.89 and not only do I have enough to practice on, but enough to do most of the lines on the truck. I did my rear brakes and the hard line over the axle shaft was leaking at one of the clamp that hold it in place. Rusted out.

 

[Randy88FJ62]

Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck with your project.

 

[Ian Crawford]

In making your own lines do our 60-Series have a single flare or double flare? I'm not at the truck to look but plan to order the right flare tool today. Thanks!

 

[Willard]

double flare

1 1 C3 - Coil Only - Steel (OE) 25' Coil - 3/16'' X .028'' Tube $13.99000/ EA $13.99

Amazon has a seller that sells nickel-copper for $25 for 25 feet. Sure it's double the cost but won't rust and is far easier to work with. The cost difference is really insignificant considering the amount used plus your time. It's your call but for a first timer it's the way to go.

looks about the same-ish(aka maybe close enough) as the hardline(40 or 41 in SOR diagram) that goes to the caliper.......maybe needs an rebend but I bet it works, that is a part that is still available for cheap($5)
