Flexible brake lines

Post by 124ADDHE »

Does anyone have the knowledge about the size of fittings? Can I just take my hoses to the local tractor dealer and have some made up? Are the fittings a standard size?

I just would like to use the fiat this weekend and i noticed that my line is bulgine a bit and needs a replacement before I can dirve it. Thanks

The Fittings need a certain flare to them and not everyone has the flare.

For quick replacement, try Lordco then Ital in edmonton or Clemente's in Vancouver. I have a set for the front here.
