Brake lines
I am hoping that someone here may have a set of pre bent brake lines for Series 3 88 that I can copy or buy, I am looking to emulate a factory set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Brake lines
If you need new brake lines I would recommend getting a pre made set from Automec.

Re: Brake lines
Thanks Matt,
I am hoping to get pre bent lines not the coiled (do it myself) kind. Unless I can find someone to make them. I can't duplicate the ones I have as they are bit of a dogs breakfast..

Re: Brake lines
With a brake line flairing tool (not terribly expensive) you can fairly easily make your own to fit perfectly. The double flairs are a bit finicky, but with a few practice flairs you'll get it. Standard NAPA fittings seem to work just fine.

Re: Brake lines
The SAE double flare is not compatible with the DIN/ISO bubble flare required on Series wheel brake components. You can purchase the correct flaring tools and fittings from specialists but I doubt that they are available from the likes of NAPA or Lordco.

Re: Brake lines
Okay, I'm sure you're right, but it's been working flawlessly on my S2 for many years. I don't remember getting the fittings from any specialist.
