brake hoses

[SkeletonLake]

Need to replace the all brake lines on my '79 850; local dealer tells me some of the lines are NLA or very expensive ($78-Cdn each) and back order items from Japan. His suggestion was one of the wreckers, don't think so. Any other sources anyone knows of for new hoses?

Buy some braided stainless lines. They wouldn't be any more... probably less. I bought mine at Summit Racing. They carry Russell and Earl's. You can measure your lines and then figure out what you need. There are also places that sell kits for certain models..... someone else will have to chime in on some websites, but you can do a google search.

Building your own brake lines from Earl's parts is easy or you can purchase pre-made kits as well. Home build is a little cheaper as I recall but I haven't priced the parts lately.

I can vouch for the guys at paragon. If they don't have what you need, send them some info and they will custom build you some brake lines.

Plus, you can have them coloured!!!

Paragon

I purchased mine from Paragon and got a great deal because I supplied them with information for my model (which they didn't have). I'm certain there are a number of good companies but I'm sure happy with my results.:-D
