Thread: Extended Brake Lines for Disco Series2

Brake klines have to be made by an approved manufacturer - I think.

What about those blokes who make braided lines for motor bikes? They advertise in the bike mags.

Do Pirtek or EnZed do brake lines?

There was a thread on braided lines not too long ago - do a search.

Here is one thread:

Hi Franz,
Any brake place will be able to make up a set for you, it just depends if u want to go fancy with braided lines or not.
Personally i dont see the need for braided lines but thats me.
The only problem i may see is they may want a sample of the ends..
Let me know if i can help.

You will also need the ones for te ABS lines...

Does anyone know where I can get some locally (in Australia - Melbourne) or where the best source would be overseas?

Thanks for your help.

430mm free length that give me a 550mm hub to guard. Just a smidgeon longer than I wanted but given time they will compress and that's when the airbags will come into their own. At the moment the air bags do nothing without a major load on board - say 175kg on top the the standard vehicle with a full tank.

Stuart,

I had considered this but think I may not have to. The ABS lines have a quick disconnect and when I want to drop my suspension, I can disconnect them to give me more downward travel - not so with the brake lines.

I think that the ABS and brake lines will cope with most of my off road jaunts but to be safe I want to extend the brake lines - no brakes in the back could become unpleasant, whereas I can get by without ABS in a failure situation (I think).

Thanks for the tip though.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Anybody have any experience with the Expedition Exchange brake lines - USD70 per end?
