Help!!!! Need To Find Brake Line Kit!!!!
 
Hey everyone I need to find steel brake lines for my 94 Disco asap!! If anyone knows where to get them please let me know. Or if anyone has any info on the fittings for the steel lines that would help as well.

I doubt you will find anyone who makes a kit, best thing you can do is go buy the tubbing and a bender and make your own.

Inline tube The brake plumbing experts

Buy a roll of line and make your own, assuming you are talking about the lines that plumb the whole truck.

Thanks for the info. I bought tubing from a local auto parts guy and made my own lines. Ran new ones from the front to the rear and replaced what I needed as to prevent any more blow outs on the rest of the lines. However I still seem to be leaking a relatively low amount from the ABS block where all the lines connect. I thought my flares were done pretty well. Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?

Did you make ISO bubble flares using the correct tool, or did you try to make a bubble flare using an inverted flare tool?

my guess is its the flares. sometimes you can get lucky overtightening them though... if you used non-stainless line (im a big fan of the copper alloy stuff, softer and much easier to work with).
worth a shot.

I ISO flared the ends and over tightened a few times. I used non-stainless tubing which bent and flared easily. Could any kind of contamination within the fluid such as dirt/rust be the issue? None of the other flares I made leaked upon inspection. Anythoughts on ditching the ABS block and retro fitting all the brake lines to a proportioning valve?
