Brake upgrade on my DI

[discostew]

I just buy a 12 or 18" hardline from PepBoys. Comes with the metric bubble fittings already on it. I have a set of 3/16" bending pliers for the tight turns.

I just used to replace all the shitted up lines behind the firewall on a lot of gm cars with that stuff. Once the cancer starts its hard to find a hard line to splice into. I would just go the whole length of the car with that easy bending stuff and be done with it.

Thanks Discostew I had someone complete the flare. I ordered this line kit so I wouldn't have to deal with flaring and cutting lines to length and I still had to hunt a flare tool down

View attachment 54756 I just ran into a brake line problem with the easy to bend brake line kit from AB. The line going to my new Stainless brake hose are both single flared? Would I have to buy adapters to make this connection? Have someone with a flare tool double flare the line? Or is this easily bendable line so soft if I screw it together it will make its own flare? This whole bake line kit was all good up to this point.

Glad to see they fixed it. I had the same problem two years ago with that kit.

A solution to what problem on a P38?

Sorry, same weak brake problem. Or easy way to improve brakes.

Those are prone to a couple problems. The calipers can get bound up like the disco but also the pumps get weak on the P38. Also the accumulators go bad and give you a really shitty pedal feel until the pump can build some pressure.
