Searched here and Pelican's forums, but nada.
From a 2004 thread: When I looked at the lines feeding from the reservoir to the MC, it looks like someone did a bad "chop job" on them, so I'd like to replace them. Can anyone send pictures, or tell me part numbers, or describe what I need to get? any resource would be helpful. Just to clarify, I want to replace the "low pressure" lines that feed the MC from the brake reservoir. Here are the part numbers. Both listed as NLA everywhere. 914 355 061 00 914 355 063 00 After my initial posting, I contacted Pelican Parts. They CAN get them, but they have to special order them. 3 week turn-around!!!!! egads!!! Any other help? I'm in the same boat. (IMG:http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l221/ppeters914/914/brakereservoir2Small.jpg) What you don't see is the plastic line cut several inches above the brake m/c feeder tubes. Both Pelican and AutoAtlanta list blue, braided hose. Does this hose replace the plastic and transition hoses, or just the braided transition hose? Or is there another solution? Thanks.

there are plastic lines attached to the blue short cloth connecting lines. Still available under a superseded part number. We order from Porsche about 50 each.

Can't you just buy metric plastic line from McMastercarr, if the plastic is what you are looking for.

Better have skills with plastics tubing bending if you are doing your own.....
Did I mention the metal tubing inserts in the bottom ends of the tubing? That's what rusted and leaked in my car... |

That's what rusted and leaked in my car... yup factory pieces are preformed with the metal in them that is why they are expensive. One gets what they pay for. (most of the time from Porsche! Their front factory hood cable sheaths are the biggest junk ever made. Look like refrigerator ice maker line!) |

Same material as the reservoir. Didn't know they were pre-formed with metal inserts. I'll have to take a look at mine. Since it is low/no pressure, can you press in the inserts? As far as pre-bending it, don't know. It's not like the stuff is super rigid, and I would think you could wrap the bend around something and hit it with a heat gun. I have some at home I could try with. |

I was thinking about having some made up in SS or steel as replacements for the plastic with the end flared to fit master cylinder. Plastic lines are about $90 EACH. Should be able to have SS's one made for under $75 for the pair.

Also plenty of used sets available. Fifty bucks each? YIKES!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) I've got a line on a used set. Another option is that there's 3-4 inches of plastic tubing still attached to the metal tubes that fit into the brake m/c. Since I have to replace the upper braided hose anyway, I could do another splice down low. |
