914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Reproduction Brake Lines

Posted by: 914Sixer Jan 4 2008, 09:18 PM

I went out on a limb and had two different styles of reproduction brake lines made for the No Longer Available ones. These are quality lines made in the USA. I had the standard steel lines made up and staniless steel ones. These look very good. The bad is they are not green coated like the orignals. They were not cheap but I feel the quality is there. I was really impressed with the SS lines. SS lines are heavier and the fittings are SS also.

I am using AA new catalogue as base price. Each item is priced at $35 in the catalogue. I would like to price mine per pair. Does this seem like a fair way to sell these items?

Front Lines Early or Late Steel $55 Shipped

Front Lines Early or Late SS $75 Shipped

Rear Lines Steel $55 Shipped

Rear Lines SS $75 Shipped

Nice Mark. In the future I may want to get a set, but first I need to square up with old uncle Sam

As a data point there is a guy on Ebay from Oxford MA. that sells a 914 copper nickel alloy hard line kit for $125.00. It has all the lines needed to replumb a 914 including the tunnel lines. I just purchased a set and am waiting for their arrival. Looks like his company caters to the Austin Heally crowd but has some Porsche stuff. Good luck with yours.

They would be a bargin if they are preformed! I am going ahead and have a complete set of SS lines made for my car.

Mark... we should talk.

Guys I received my Ebay purchased set today. It appears to be very high quality with a one page instruction sheet. The lines have number tags on them and the instruction sheet tells you where each numbered piece goes. Yes I have to bend them but being copper nickel alloy that should be no issue. I'll let you guys know how the install goes but it may be a while

Lines are now for sale in the classified. These are all I have at this time.

What about the through the tunnel lines?

Wouldn't they be just as prone to rusting as the fronts and rears?
