Does anyone have any recomendations for custom length stainliness brake lines.

I cant use an off the shelf kit as I need them a couple of inches longer than normal.

Im sure goodrich would do it, but they are quite expensive for one off stuff IME, Im sure last time I needed something like this I used Think Automotive, but having just checked their website they dont seem to list this sort of thing anymore.

Anyone got any good tips on who to try?

They dont list anything for a vauxhall, was hoping to find someone who does so I can just give them the car details I require it for and then say "but in 22 inch not 18 inch"
As I dont have the details to hand with regards to the fittings on each end, which they probably arent going to know either if they dont list that car.

Will drop them an email though if no one else has any suggestions, thanks for the tip.

In that case Merlin Motorsport (combe) they make them so may have on file the thread details... you should be able to supply those to them or at least a Vauxhall techy should know

try rally design in kent chip, they do that sort of stuff

make your own mate. Hose is around 3 quid a meter, and the fittings are about the same each - rally design stock them.

Yeah I did think about that, but was hoping for something I can just fit straight up on thursday night when I get home from work so am being a bit lazy about it.


Thanks for the tip on rally designs, will try them if I dont hear back from Merlin promptly

Why not make them in copper?

Because they would snap when I went over a bump or round a corner, its the stainless flexi section im on about mate!

For future ref. speedflow do the..... crimped/swaged type just tell the size and what ends you need. They aslo to the quip type stuff to make you own.
