shitty.

well, i was putting on my rear disc brakes, and i was tryin to fit a peice on, and a brake line decided to break. anyone know a good site to get the pice i need? its a brake line and mounts.

[Bryan]

Damn man that really blows, just your luck too.

[Blue Impact]

Junkyard maybe? :confused:

[Bryan]

Yeah I was going to say junkyard too.

[lightbulblxi]

i cant get one from a junk yard cuz it is for my sei brakes, and id have better luck winning a ferrari than to find an sei is hickville usa.

[Moodybluesr]

If it's hard line, just cut and bend your own new piece. If it's a rubber line, you can buy it at Autozone or whatever.

[lightbulblxi]

it was a peice of steel i believe, how would i make my own? it broke right as a mount.

[Moodybluesr]

If you don't already have a tubing cutter, a tubing bender, and a double flaring tool, you will have to purchase those... then it is just a matter of buy new line (cheap) of the right size, cutting, bending, and flaring it to fit in place of the broken line.

Looks like a great time to go steel...

You can probably find them cheaper somewhere else... this is just what I pulled up.

for 110 :dunno:

OK Brian fill me in on what part it is. You should have the hard line comming into the wheel well. That lines goes to a rubber line with metal ends (25) which goes to a full metal line (7 pass or 12 driver) and then to a rubber line with metal ends (26) that goes into the caliper. The short hard lines (7 and 12) are under 10 bucks from either San Leandro or Majestic.

PLEASE tell me you have a 10mm flare nut wrench to tighten down all the lines. If not your going to round the fittings off trying to tighten them down and run the risk of having leaks everywhere. Trust me on this one. We didn't have one when we did my conversion and it took me a week to stop all the leaks. I had to use a flare nut wrench and tap it over the fittings with a hammer to get them to their original shape so I could tighten them down properly.

hey vinny, i cant really tell which one it is in that pic, but if u look at the caliper, there is a rubber tube coming off of it, it is the steel line that is connected to the other side of the mount before the rubber one. so i believe it is the #12, cuz its on the drivers side. i dont believe i have a flare nut wrench, but i might be able to get one, do u have a pic of what it looks like?

:D those are pretty, im really considering the too.

Ok Brian the line you are talking about, if we are on the same page is going to be 12. It's the go between for the 2 rubber lines, the one comming off the hard line into the wheel well, and trhe one going to the caliper. It runs right behind the dust shield, if memory serves me. It can be ordered but only from honda. As far as the brake lines, I don't think the ones Nathan posted will work, plus the price is hella expensive. Techna-fit makes lines specifically designed for our cars. Thats who you need to go through. The set runs 115.00 bucks for the se-i setup. I HIGHLY recommend ordering them. Brake lines are NOT something to play on. I used new ones in the rears when I did my SE-i swap and the reptured a front after replacing a master cylinder. I found my other front line was chaffed all the way through the rubber insulation down to the tubing under neath. Cost to change them all out from a local parts store..........about 20 bucks MORE than if I had just bought the lines from Techna-fit.

Best bet for quality and price is sears. 25 bucks, I think for a set of 4. Seperately each one runs like 12 bucks
