    extended brake lines GQ patrol - Mav. Adjust Panhards, etc

    G'day,

    I'm on Brisvegas Northside, but have been known to cross the River South and West :-)

    Silver is now a bit more than 50mm closer to the stars

    no longer low rider Silver. I feel taller tyres coming on........ sigh

    I'm looking for a recommendation for supplier of extended braided brake line for Mav/GQ wagon. Front and rear, the ones that go from the body brake plumbing to the diff plumbing. Apparently the originals are just long enough, which is not a good thing for devices that keep the stopping juice where it should be :-) I think they are all 89 vintage, so am a bit tempted to get a full set - ie 4x diff to caliper as well.

    Silver's new 2nd hand springs have the rear diff sitting out a bit to the driver's side. recommendation for supplier of adjustable panhard please? I am told this is non urgent - track does not match up, but alignement etc ok. Left unaltered will confuse me when I finally get around to installing my garden edge flares with gal strap stiffening custom upgrade Growlers used and recommends :-) But, if a lot of $$ may put that towards slider/steps.

    Years ago, I read that one of the front steering components had been upgraded. I think it was one of the components to which the steering damper bolts. The recall work to the bracket has already been done to Silver. From memory the issue was a tie rod end/ball joint would break off, if the vehicle had worked very very hard for a very long time on difficult corrugations. The new one is thicker and a different shape? Did any one else hear/read/know anything about this?


    Thanks in advance.
