They're a rip off, go to Diggers brakes and cables in Hornby.

You could buy some tube and borrow a flare tool to make your own? You can either buy a tube bender or just bend the tube over your knee/palm/ other curved surface.

I'm borrowing the flare tool from a workmate (who has just built a lotus 7 replica) and he mentioned that all pipes these days need a double flare (which my factory lines do not have) so if you choose to do your own just be careful.

Im in ChCh , spare line , mates flare kit , etc ,etc is in Auckland. So easier and more satisfying to have it done while im down here. :mrgreen:

at least im doing some thing on my truck :roll:

my Zuk is an 85 , single flare only or wont fit the factory parts.
I bent the template using a ring spanner. :lol:

but not happy with end result even though the bends are sweet ,line is corroded and the nuts are completely stuffed.

breaks are critical , so happy to have it done right.

ok , i went to safe r brakes today as was just around the corner from where im working ,
got ignored for 15mins :evil:

, when some one finally talked to me they weren't interested, as just a real small job. got fobbed off and told to come back tomorrow when they "might" be able to help me :evil:

asked for a quote and got told about $50 :shock:

but would depend on labor

So jumped in the car and went out to Digger's ,Brake's and Cable's in Hornby.
Awesome service , made the part for me on the spot , putting aside what they were working on. $20 all up. Chatted the whole time about 4wd's with the guys.

Cheers Tim , advice much appreciated.

Any guys looking for break work in ChCh go and see Digger's , Brake's and Cable's .
