brakes Brake Hard Line Length

[mdh]

Hey guys,

 

I am going to be replacing all the hard lines in the car (from master to flex lines) but I can not find the length of the oem lines so I can sut my material to length.

 

Does anyone have an idea if the length of the 5 lines?

 

Thanks,

 

MAtthew

I can provide you with the lengths  but list exactly what model you have so you only cut once

The lengths are all listed in realem.com next to thee part number.

Matthew:

 

What kind of material are you using for your brake lines?  Stainless or other?

 

Also, where did you source the brake line material?

I am using cunifer line and fittings sourced from fedhillusa.com.

I believe Ireland was working on completing a pre-cut pre-flared set for the '02.

It won't be too long before I'll list them in the faq classified section.  I've got 3-4 sets for locals I'm doing now.  It won't be something through IE officially, just a side project.  Last night I nailed down all the actual lengths (not the published lengths), shoot me an email when you get the chance.

Thanks for the info.  According to their website, the "cunifer" material is just as, or more, durable than stainless steel.

 

I am not at that stage yet, but will be eventually.

I posted this brakeline chart on the old FAQ site--it lists the lengths of lines used for the big brake conversion with a tii booster and struts (the booster extends a little more forward when connecting lines to the master brake cylinder).

Nice chart!  Thanks for posting.

 

Does your chart apply if installing tii hubs and calipers on a non-tii 2002, if still using the non-tii brake master cylinder?

 

If installing a disc brake conversion on the rear, do any of the rear hard brake lines have to change as well?

 

Also, to what does the reference to "shorten 47mm to 1590" apply on your chart?

Yes,

Think about it logically. The outer rear hardline connects to the wheel cylinder up top, with the disk brake setup the caliper sits on the bottom rear.  If the rear disk kit your looking at is any good, they should already be including the necessary lines.

I've been looking at the IE kit among others, but the hubs seem to be a stumbling block.
