Are the hard brake lines the same on all (non ABS) 110s? (post metric conversion)???

I need to replace the two lines which run from the MC to the rear of the car. Any suggested sources in brisbane?

Humble suggestion here, take your old brake lines to a brake place and get them copied. Use the old ends if you can. Should be done toot sweet. I bought a brake flaring tool many years ago and do them myself. Easy as.

You are probably right...

Just thought there may be a newish 110 being wrecked that I could grab the lines off.

I had a brake line copied for our daughters 110 Defender recently - the one from the diff to the left rear caliper. The brake joint took 10 minutes and charger $22 for the job. I wouldn't worry about second hand.

Getting it from Sydney to Gove was the issue though.:D

iirc the connection to the MC is different from 110 to Defender - depends on which MC.

I'm fairly sure master cylinder exchange MCX in Wynnum do brake lines. However, I find OEM is the neatest.

Also AFIR modern lines are required to have a folded flair at the end.

We get a local to do our braided lines, he probably can do the others as well.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up getting a brake place at Rocklea to make up the lines - cost $45 for both lines.
