Default Where to get braided brake lines??

Finally after much deliveration, The AU and i arem going for the 322mm brake upgrade. However, i am at a loss of where i can find braided lines!!

If the old calipers have to come off anyway, may as well do it properly.

Also, will my existing au lines bolt straight up to the ba/bf brakes?

Will post pics when done


I look forward to actually being able to decelerate through round abouts!!!!

Will also be flushing brake fluid and fixing handbrake at same time... or should i go the ba rears too?? how does it all match up?

Does anyone know any wreckers that are self serve that have au's and ba's?? So i can test on a car thats not mine :P

I have a spare pair of braided brake lines for the fronts sitting at home here in a box, unused.

I did see a listing in one of the auto stores that you can order braided brake lines for literally all model Falcon ... they didn't have any on the shelf for the AU at the time ... but they can get them in ... it might have been Repco come to think of it now.

Make sure who you get them made by get the measurements right as i had to get my rear braided lines remade due to being too short and i managed to rip one off just driving so be very careful.

Differance in stopping yes they work better than the rubber items money worth spending.
