    Chasing braided brake lines. Diff to caliper front GQ

    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

    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

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    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.

    If you are still after some braided lines, let me know. I have a set that I didn't end up needing.
    IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.

    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?

    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.
