Hi all, does anyone know where I can get new metal Brake lines for the front of a type 3 for disc brake? If they are not available new, has anyone got any that they would part with? I would also need a Brake fluid reservoir as well....

Thanks Nectar.

Any good brake shop/mechanics should be able to make them up if you provide a sample or an accurate measurement

I just finished making new brake lines for my drag car. Work out how long they have to be then go to your local barake shop and get them to flare the ends with a double flare. Then all you need to do is bend it to shape. It's easy as the brake line is pretty soft. As long as you bend them around something like a socket or a paint can (as long as the bend radius isn't to tight) it's a piece of cake.
