Anyone know where I can get new oem brake tube fittings. I have 30 ft roll of 3/16 line for my tuck but want fresh oem fittings. Any links to these. Stainless steel would be even better.

I'm having only one issue with doing this. I am using the oem 3/16" line and need to "T" off the master cylinder. What fitting's do I need to properly "T" into the factory lines? I am having issues figure this out prob due to this all being new to me?

I don't follow. Are you using a single circuit master cylinder or something?

The master cylinder has one port. But I need to "T" into two lines. One for the drivers side and one for the passengers side. No prop valve.

No rear brakes? You just need a pretty standard -3 t fitting. I prefer steel for brake lines.

General question: I'm in the market for a new flare tool. Which o the Ridgid ones do you folks recommend?

Rear brakes will work only off hydraulic assisted staging brake. So I will "t" off that as well to run each line for the rears.

I'm just needing to know where I can find them and specs. Because I'm using the oem fitting's on the lines I have a bucket full from cars I've scrapped. So the "t" must allow them to thread into it.

So you just need to dig through your box o' parts, pick your fittings, and then order a t-fitting with the thread of your choosing. The factory flare angle is 45*

Something like this:



which can be found almost anywhere. Summit/Jegs/an-plumbing.com/pegasus/etc...

The hardlines I will be using are 3/16. The thread for the fitting's are 10X1.0mm and from what I have been reading the flare is 37 double flare?

I recently did a full disk conversion on my 93 ex coupe, my buddy with a Del sol sold me his whole setup spindles and all, I know I need to change out my current prop valve which I acquired on from a DC2 Integra but I was told that in order for the DC2 prop valve to work I will have to rebend my stock lines is this tru? and are these lines any good http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/a...rm=brake+lines.

you can reuse all of your oem fittings, with the addition of 4 bulk head fittings.

3/16 steel or stainless line
3an Nut Ends x1pack
3 An bulkhed fittings x4pcs
3an Line sleeves x 2packs
Bender


get a good deburr tool as well as a good bender... brakeline tuck under 60$ with the bender plus however much line you may need.

This ever get answered? Seems like it would be easier to install & run since you wouldn't need a bender or hardlines period. It wouldn't be as OCD perfect as hardline but would still look clean & be concealed.
