    I have to get a new rear flexible brake line for the bus. I noticed that after i installed the new rear axle, the brake line is almost fully extended at ride height. This is not good. So I need a new rear line. Fortunately i am still using the original brass junction that bolts to the diff housing. So where is a good palce to purchase the lines from that i can get some kind of technical support from the people because i want to make sure the line and adapters will fit what i have. Or does somebody have a part nubmer for the 3/16 to AN adapters for the frame to flex line and the adapter nubmer for the line to brass junction on the pumkin.

    Around here, the buggy shops have different lengths of steel braided line in stock with any adapter you'd need. That type of shop might be a possibility for you. I've also used these guys before.

    They're in San Diego County but will custom make and ship anywhere.

    Thanks Mike, i will prolbably give them a call. Anyone know what size the fitting is on the rear rubber line that screws into the brass junction block on the axle? I was looknig at the catalog and got everything else in mind but i want to see if somebody has the size so i do not have to open up the brake lines :(
