    Hi,

    I just failed my MOT on my brake lines being rusted. The lines which i need seem to be hard to come across online and was wondering if anyone else knows of any websites. The lines I need are not the rubber coated ones coming from the caliper but the thin metal ones running on after that. the one coming from the driver side is only a few inches long and then the one running to the passenger side is longer about a foot or two i think.

    I was thinking of cleaning them and cutting them back but the guy at mot said they would really need replaced.

    any advice here is greatly appreciated guys.

    Thanks.

    For my s14a the braided lines replaced the rubber and those hardpipe section, they go straight from caliper to the wheel arch gromet connection, im guessing it will be the same for 180sx, I got mine from dan@dbpower, DW probably have something similer, speak to them and im sure they will sort something out.
