brake line short update

Tony- why not just do a new frame rail junction block?
That way you wouldn't be trying to match stuff up.
It'd be easy to attach, using the OEM junction block mounting bolts/holes already on the frame.

Just a thought.


Mainly because I would like to keep things stock looking, plus the junction block in the oem set up is actually mounted to the drivers side brake line assembly, which would mean another bracket, then a bracket or a bolt assembly for the new junction block. Plus as far back as it is it would mean new lines, and for the guys that didnt want the kit from the mastercylinder to the block they would have to rearange the lines and take all that apart, plus I would have to find a block with a 10mm male ,a 12 mm female, a 11mm male and a 12 mm port, finding that configuration would be a block buster, dodge has so far about 4or 5 different threads and sizes on this deal.

What I am trying to do is make it so the average Joe can just remove a single front line and replace it back in its original position without doing any modifications , the same with the rear.

As of now the rear is a direct replacement with the addition of 3-4 etra clamps that take no more than removing a bolt.

the passenger front is simple as removing the stock line using a new L bracket and replacin the line. the drivers side I am trying to make it as simple as jsut removing the line.

The ABS lines to the frame are goin to be for the experienced guys, first they were a major pain to remove so to speak, but each line is a different thread, one I am not even sure I can do yet.

but the master cylinder to the abs should be easy to do

I could do a ton of customizing and make it look like it come off a $200,000 ferrari, but I would rather make it simple, look great an functional, and very easy to install, and let the buyer if he wants do any additions.
I dont want to make it so expensive only Donald Trump can afford it, I would like everyone on the forum to be able to afford it , and even be able to install it.

Thats why my truck hasnt moved in so long, every line is off, and has been on and off a dozen times, and I have a fortune tied up in lines that are useless. the easier I make it the better it will be:p
 
Since your truck has no brakes, then why not go for a 9 sec. pass?
:D

The junction block on the frame rail is a lot easier to replace than you think. The only change would be that the drivers side front brake line (from caliper to junction block) would have to be lengthened approx. 6" to compensate for the removal of that little section of hardline in the 'Popeye Pipe".

Once I get my line set from ya, I'll work on the junction block thing.
I *know* it can be cleaner than what's there now. (no offense, Dodge)

I hear ya on the price thing though.

Got any pics of the hose guides? I'm curious about the nylon ones and the aluminum ones! :)

its not that easy the junction block will have to have a port for a 12mmx1.0 thread, a 10mmx1.0 thread, a 11mmx1.0 thread and an extra two more 10mmx1.0 threads,

but why replace it? dont make sense:dontknow: its there, its mounted and ya dont have to do anythingto it?

The factory bracket holds the brake line, and the blocks, and they are aluminum, so I cant see any reason to change it:dontknow:
 
The drivers side line with the L-shaped "Popeye Pipe" fitting will have to be replaced/removed with the new lines.
You're 33% of the way to a new junction! :)

I'm just saying it might be easier to have new junction boxes purchased (or even made) than having a bunch of custom ends done....in kooky sizes.

11mm fitting on a brake line?
Talk about hard to repair or replace.
Dodge sure doesn't make it easy. :)
 
The master cylinder and abs lines are at goodridge now.

I got a few things to clean up and will take some pics tonight for ya'll to see the brake line kit.

still yet to recieve my clamps tho, damn UPS:p
 
:D here's a pic of stinker and joanne pressure testing the lines:D
