DESPERATE!!! need hard brake line

[Nwcharger]

So I got most of the parts I needed for my abs to non abs conversion from one of the guys on here. I still need the front passenger hard brake line and the adapter piece it screws into on the back side of the proportioning valve. I had a trip planned to Naches this next week but if I cant get fixed I wont be able to go. yes I have searched junk yards and craigslist.

I have always had to just remake my hardlines

They sell everything at baxters, double flare tool, tube bender and the tube cutter.. Granted that's all about $40. But they are tools you will actually be happy to have later on!

Then just buy the same size hardlines needed at any auto parts store (couple bucks)

I would offer you to use mine but you're far away

my vote is for pre-flared lengths of copper line. super easy to bend by hand without crimping, no need to flare the ends, and cheap

I would agree. And that's what I did for one of the lines. But I'm still running into the issue of the adapter piece I need on the proportioning valve.

Man I don't know. I would guess baxters would have it, you just might need to take the prop valve in to check the thread size

Im doing the same conversion now,to make room for an air compressor for lockers, and it sucks cause that is a 4'ish line with 13 bends or so, hard to duplicate to perfectionish with 1 peice and that much tube. And thats coming from expeirience with bending tube,whole car brakelines frome scratch, and h.r.e.w tubes for excavators. You have 2 options really.... find an original brake line.....cut original line, flare the end on the drivers side and adapt by making a hardline or a flexline .the fittings are j.i.c -3. You can find fittings at a hydraulic hose shop,there in every town. Also napa warehouse has a ton of stuff on hand. I chose the oem part transfer

Got the part from the pro portioning valve that I needed. Now I am good to just get generic aftermarket brake line.
