Anyone Sell Individual SS Brake lines
So I heard a rubbing noise coming from the back and pulled the car over and crawled under the car only to see that my SS brake line on the drivers side rear was in constant contact with the tire and actually had rubbed a mark on the inside of the tire and worn the plastic surrounding the SS mesh right off. As far as I know this rubber outter coating is what keeps dirt and crap from breaking down the weaved stanless steel and what helps make them DOT legal.
Obviously I only need that one side. Just wondering if anyone sells individually. If not I may just get a factory replacement rubber line. |
It's probably a bad idea to mix SS and rubber, the rubber will expand more than the SS and you'll get uneven braking on the left and right, which could result in a spin if you brake hard enough.

I highly doubt that but I've been wrong before
Especially in the rear which only provides @30-40% of the braking force anyway. To the OP: If you don't want to buy a new set of rear lines, you could always just make one up from parts. |

Why don't you just unhook one end of the line, slide a piece of heatshrink tubing over the worn spot, squirt a *little* bit of RTV black around/under each end and heatshrink the tubing? :icon_tup:
