front brake lines.

I used a combination of straight lengths of 3/16 line from the parts store and a 20' roll of 3/16 tubing from www.inlinetube.com. The cheap summitracing proportioning valve ($35), a 3/8"-24 T fitting, a few 3/8"-24 fittings for the t fitting and prop valve and scavenged a few 10mmx1.0 metric brake fittings from my old lines.

I found it was so much easier to use the straight tubing and bend it to fit than the coiled tubing. Also noticed flaring takes a ton of patience to get right and where possible I used a factory flared section, at least on one end..

The front brake lines are 94 nissan 240ZX front brake lines that are about 24" long and have a female m10x1.0 fitting onboth ends. Since I cut down the factory dust shields, I needed to build another caliper brake line bracket. used a 3.5"x1.5" piece of 16 ga. the hose goes through a 5/8" hole and secured with the clip. The other end is secured with the upper caliper bolt. I think this is the best mounting for these lines. The alternative is using the caliper mounting bolt and if you have to remove it on the trail you could bend the line. I also saw guys mount them from the steering arm, and like the caliper mounting bolt, that might get in the way when you have to remove the arm.

I need to add more brake line clips and maybe some springs to hold the rubber hose.

Oil filter relocation kit. The hose is mcmaster p/n 54765K23, high pressure 300psi buna-N rubber designed for oil transport at high temps. I might get some hydraulic lines made at some point but these will work fine for now.
