Anyone know where to get brake lines that run from the Master cylinder/ABS to the rear axle?? I can`1t seem to find anything anywhere.
Or would anyone know the size of both lines mentioned above . These are the lines that run down the drivers side of the disco , Mine are leaking just under the drivers door, Maybe I could just replace a section , but I`ve no idea of size. Would really like to get new lines |

Splicing brake lines is dicey. When you consider the pressure is well over 500 psi, you had better check with the compression fit manufacturer to find out the max compression the fittings can withstand. I'm sure any brake shop can supply the a new metric brake line once you have carefully measured the length... just (masking) tape a string to the broken line to exactly measure its length and then get the shop to make you up a new line. Expect some fuss in getting the line bent to the correct shape and clipped into place. On many vehicles it is almost impossible to put new brake lines in unless the body is lifted up off the frame a bit. Check out how difficult the installation will be. If it is impossible as one length, you can get the new line made up in two pieces that will go together during the installation.

compression fittings are illegal are will get you into serious trouble with the law. No vehicle can pass safety inspection with compressed fitting on the brakes.
you have to use the regular type and flare the end to get it to join. Or buy it buy the foot and unravel it to the end. if you install compression fittings and they break on yourself or someone else then you are legally liable for any and all damage. Don't do it at all
