    brake lines

    brake lines..


    as in i've ripped out everything to do with the brakes in the current car, (dw very old car)

    from brake lines to brake cylinder n stuff and all them wirey lines too..


    can they be re-done?

    since this car was all drum brakes and was looking to upgrade to all disc brakes.. was looking at to change the whole brake set up from the engine bay to the discs..

    pretty much start from scratch with the brakes..

    or

    was even looking at using for instance an eg si whole brake setup from master cylinder black wirey lines and so on.. non abs (if that makes a diff)

    easy job? can be done?

    du, leave the standard hard brake lines, and get custom braided ones.

    im talking about the pos in my garage btw. lol

    yeah thats not the part im worried about. you know the that brake master cylinder thing in the engine bay.. and all them black wirey lines coming out of it.. i hacked at them.. lol cut them to bits.. and now just realised if it can be made up again..

    like the rubber hoses around the calipers n stuff im not worried about its the lines in the engine bay that lead out to the calipers.
