autumnwalker Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 what's with the coils in the brake lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Easier to make them a bit too long and then put a coil in to use up length? Also to allow for flex, without fatiguing the metal? My guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is the proper way to do them and I'm impressed that you did it that way ,Andrew.The coil allows for flex between the body and the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is the proper way to do them and I'm impressed that you did it that way ,Andrew.The coil allows for flex between the body and the frame. Interesting - I have only really looked at OEM brake lines which, IIRC, are not coiled like that. thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearjammer Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 well my truck had those coils from factory so i always try to put them back in when ever i have to do those brake lines been workin on the rig for the last week and will have some more pics for everyone soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcC Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Interesting - I have only really looked at OEM brake lines which, IIRC, are not coiled like that. thanks for the tip! That's the old way of doing them... When I worked at Curtis, Most cars were done that way, unless someone changed a brakeline. Most don't know why, so they just run them direct and the "cleanest way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
