Chasing braided brake lines. Diff to caliper front GQ

[Kelvinator]

G'day, at some point I've damaged the brake lines going from the diff to the caliper and was really hoping to swap em out with braided and coated lines instead. I believe it was probly only a rock or stick that has done the damage so I WANT STEEL! Anybody who knows somebody that makes them or where i can get them would be a big help.

Cheers in advance

GQ 92 TD42 - front - caliper to diff

I have a full set of snake racing braided brake lines DOT rated. If your going to do it then you really want the full set including all 4 wheel and the 2 main lines down to the diffs. This is also a great brake upgrade. They will cost you around$500

Punch "gu patrol braided brake lines" into ebay search and you will get a few options.

I had mine (body to diff only) custom made from a local Brisbane guy, worked out dearer than off the shelf items but i needed them in a hurry.

[Kelvinator]

Yeah I've got body to diff, just need diff to caliper. Thanks guys, for some strange reason I didn't even think of ebay.

While we are on the subject of brake upgrades, anybody done the gu twin caliper and master upgrade from the TI petty I think it is(don't know anything much about gu's) as I am thinking of doing it?

If you are still after some braided lines, let me know. I have a set that I didn't end up needing.

Why didn't you use them Parksy??

[Parksy]

Because Mr nissan installed a new set at no charge and the thought of having to bleed the brakes again is not appealing, so I'm happy to part with them.

Bugger, id be swapping them out in a blink mate. they are a decent upgrade IMO, i have had Braided lines from very early on as i had them on the Bike and new the benefits so fitted them to the GQ as soon as i had the cash.

What brand are they and what are you chasing for them? all 4 corners? No Diff to Chassis though yeah?

[Parksy]

They are HEL brake lines. I've got all fitted except for the front diff to caliper lines, which I have 2 of. I'll part with them for $50.

G'day, reason I never went braided front brake lines was because they are not adr approved. The materials yes, but because of the rotation on the front wheels braided lines do not wear like factory ones due to the rigidity. Or so I am told. I am going for engineering certification of my lift so no braided fronts for me. And yes, when I did the rest there was an immediate difference in pedal feel, as one would expect.

[threedogs]

Safebrake are a vendor here and do F&R brake lines .
their brake lines are ADR approved,
look them up as I think they are teflon lines as opposed to braided
Priced right and very high on my to do list

[Kelvinator]

Yeah I have teflon brake lines now on the front now, but unfortunately they do not have the same mechanical advantage as braided.

I thought braided lines were teflon (PTFE)... whats the difference?

The braided lines on my truck are anyway

[Kelvinator]

Yeah teflon doesn't really have anything to do with them being braided. I have teflon lined rubber brake hoses. Doesn't mean a thing to you and me, just potentially longer lasting.
