rider Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) My car is pushing 20 years old and all original in the brake line and hose stakes so I'm thinking come next service/MOT time to get all the lines and hoses replaced as slight corrosion is the only advisory and one that pops up every year on the brake pipes. I can't find anywhere that has a schematic on the Mk4 brake plumbing so I'm hoping someone has a link that'll give all the part numbers for a comprehensive line and hose replacement. Also any recommendations on coated or copper or whatever seeing its not going to be a cheap upgrade I may as well give my pampered Supra a top line set to see it easily through the next 20 years. Not bothered about going for race hoses that are less spongy as I've never had any issues with the standard gear running for extended periods at 160mph and braking hard for Polish trucks on the German Autobahn.

Dnk Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) For the main lines make your own up using copper and they'll outlive the car, get a Goodridge or HEL braided kit for the flexis, get the full st/st versions though not the zinc coated Edited July 22, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 That entails a buying a flaring tool, bending tool, olives and nuts and an unknown length of copper piping. I was hoping there would be options available to simply buy pre fabricated pipes and hoses as a kit or individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) You can buy the brake lines from Toyota ready made to fit if you wish. Sorry I don't have part numbers. I know a local garage very well who have the flaring tool so was simple to just let them put it on a ramp and make all the new lines, didn't take very long. You can get 25 ft of copper brake pipe for £10 on ebay and the fittings are also pretty cheap Edited July 22, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
