I got a little overzealous when prepping my frame for the shock tubes and clipped my passenger side front brake (hard) line with a hard grinding wheel. I hadn't thought much of it until I went searching for a suitable replacement. Absolutely nothing to be found. Even finding the PN was difficult and I'm not even sure I found the right one.

1983 4WD pickup. Passenger side. In the photos below you can see the flex line that feeds the caliper. The following hardline is the problematic part.

Apologies for the excessive grease, I'm convinced its what has kept this truck so rust free all these years.

Anyway, can someone point me towards a good PN or better yet a vendor that has this line available for purchase?

Thanks guys

 

The hard line just goes to the caliper yes?

Your local parts store may have a 10" section with ends on it already, or I would get some brake line and new ends and make one.

The Toyota thread size is M10-1.0. Many times I just used the original tube nuts and made a new line. Or like rattlewagon said, buy the length you need with this size tube nuts and bend it to the shape you need. IDK if you get a choice of material other than steel but if you do, NiCopp bends super easy and doesn't rust. Steel isn't too bad to bend if that's all they have though. Use a bender if steel or be very careful not to kink it. Bend it over a round object if you have to. NiCopp bends so easy you can do it with out tools.

Good luck with it.

 

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. It is unfortunately not the hard line that plumbs into the caliper. Those are easily obtainable. Its the line directly after the flex. Long and looks to be a bit of a headache in terms of routing which is why I was hopeful there was an off the shelf replacement. All my digging hasn't turned anything up. Will likely head for the junkyard. If no luck there ill proceed with your solution aztoy.

Thanks again, guys.
