Default brake lines?????

i searched and i couldn't find what i was looking for. but what size brake hard lines does a 3G integra use(3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2)? and what is the flare degree? im redoing my brake lines w/ stainless steel and im not sure on the size and flaring.

thanks

I got what you need. I manage a hose shop. I believe that the hose you need is 3/16 for the brake lines. You will need AN fittings for the calipers. Get at me if you would like for me to make your hoses.

It sounds like he's looking for pipes, not hose.

The Integra (and most other cars) use 3/16" lines for brakes, and 45-degree flares. The fittings are metric size, so be sure to save and reuse them because it's hard to find replacements. Also, if you're using stainless steel pipes, you only need to do a single 45-degree flare; double-flaring is only needed with mild steel (SS isn't ductile enough to double-flare reliably). However, be sure to get seamless pipe, because a seam will probably cause leaks.

Good call I did not read it as well as I thought. I will look in my books tomorrow, but it seems that all of the fittings are Japanese Industrial Standard. I have a gazillion of these fittings so if you are trying to find them somewhere and they are charging an arm and a leg, let me know. I have SS tubing but I cannot make your hoses without a hose to use as a template, but if you ever need any SS braided hoses, let me know.
