Hi guys,

am wondering where can i get braided lines custom made in different lengths in Melbourne?

And yes i tried doing a search and using Advance Search. :)

Thanks!

Hmm, I don't have the company who did my custom brake lines written down, but they were ADR approved.

There are a few places that do them, including that one in Sunshine (Brakewest).

There are also some local places in the South Eastern suburbs, I assume they'd be in the yellow pages....but if you can't find someone I'll try and find out who it was.

re: braided lines for track applications.

Generally speaking, ADR approved lines AREN'T up to scratch for track work (method of construction), very light track work yes, anything above that.... no

Conversely, CAMS approved braided lines generally speaking AREN'T ADR approved, hence illegal to run in a street car.

I reckon you'd be unlucky to get pinged for em, so if you plan on doing any extended periods of track work, get CAMS approved ones.

I don't know the specifics, but the "crimping" method used to make ADR approved lines (adr approved lines will have a rubber bit with the ADR number stamped on it) doesn't cope with heavy use

Apologies for side-tracking the topic but where did you hear that?

I've got a Japanese set of braided lines I'm selling, but if the ADR lines aren't that good I might keep the Japanese set.

Race Brakes (or whoever the SAU sponsor is) and confirmed by the maker of the group buy braided lines at Brake West (sunshine)

Race Brakes make lines for the V8 Supercars, and he explained the difference between a "street" braided line, and a track braided line.

Brake West said they can replace the rubber ADR fittings with metal ones (on the GB lines) to comply with CAMS, but then it's no longer ADR approved.

But you'd prob have to have a switched on officer to know though.... i reckon....

Interesting, I'm not concerned about defects, my lines look like there plastic (black plastic coating over plastic over braided line), my concern is insurance.

Saying I couldn't stop because I didn't have ADR approved lines if something ever happened would be an issue.

Thanks for the information.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
