I am going to be replacing my brake lines soon, and I wanted to re-route the hard brake line. Do you guys know where I can find some? Also what size is our hard brake line?

It would be cheaper to make your own Its not hard to due but it take time to get it right. I had to replace every brake line on my 89 golf because the line rusted through and when you loose breaks when your going 55 coming up on a stop light Yeh!

You could try classictube.com look under 94 gt for some reason they don't have them listed 95. Its like $190

If you are looking for some steel braided flex lines for the 94-95...(replaces rubber lines ONLY) I know you can get some for cheap from R&E Racing in California.


I AM NOT trying to advertise, but I used to work there and I KNOW they have a bunch of these in stock and would be willing to sell them for cheap. If you call, Ask for John at the counter, tell him that Jeff Parrish told you to call. He'll hook you up.

What I wanted to do was get new hard lines and bend them myself.

Yeah, I figured you might want new flex lines too.

There are places you can buy 15ft sticks of line, you just gotta look around.

Running your own lines is a bigger project than you might think. I just redid the lines in me engine compartment. I added a line lock and deleted my abs module...It was quite a feat...All the bending and flaring and whatnot. It took me quite a while to do it.

You should be able to get exact replacements (or modified) lines from these guys. They can do custom work.

are you sure they are 3/8? I looked at them recently and they look smaller, maybe 1/8.

See if the dealer stills carries them. I bought the brake lines from the ABS pump to the passenger side brake calipers for my 00 GT for about 28 dollars. There was a set of 3 or 4 lines that I needed. It was a nice peice.
