The transfer tubes connecting both halves of the K/H caliper are leaking. Where can I purchase new lines?

a flaring kit and brake line.

Im with ya there!

Simple matter to just handform another line.

 

[Jester]

I could give that a shot... 45 degree bends, right?

 

[Longgone]

I`ve used Right Stuff also, a perfect fit.

they have a brake line bender for like 10 bucks at a lot of auto part stores too . just get some line and take off the line you got . and play around with it till the new one loos just like the old one . the hardest part is the flaring . i seem to always mess up the first try . lol. you need a some what good flaring kit i guess.

 

[Jester]

oops... I meant 45 degree flares?

 

[pittman445]

I have 3 tubing benders ($12.00 each) and a quality flaring kit (well over $100.00). You`ll need a bender for each size tubing you`re working with. I agree with Bob, buy a set and be done with it. The replacements may even have the gravel guard installed as well.

Ya gotta pick your battles..myself I can't take on every task.

For the cost of the lines,might be worth it to buy em if thier that cheap!

 

[pittman445]

yeah , im not trying to start any thing . it just if it was me thing i guess . do what you have to. me myself , i like to do anything i can my self .

Thanks guys! I tried to double flare and bend my own tubing, it turned out pretty good, until I stuck the wheel on and it rubbed, and then seemed too close even after adjusting it...

so I ordered up a Stainless set from Right Stuff. Fine lines doesn't ship to canada, and their Canadian distributor (Canada Line and tube) won't answer the phone.

now the wait begins

your bender didnt come with the differnt sizes ?

 

[Jester]

Here's a pic of the best I could do... almost there, but not quite. Enough messing around, the stainless lines should last longer than the calipers.

 

[Longgone]

your bender didnt come with the differnt sizes ?

I have one bender that does three sizes and another that does two but they`re not my favorites. I prefer the spring type benders.

I was just talking to a friend the other day that ordered calipers from brakewarehouse. I think he said they had them. You do mean the retaining clips for the pads?
