SS Brake Lines

[syrushcw]

Alright this is probably a stupid question but I know nothing about brakes and I tried searching ABS SS lines but I don't even know what terms to use. Any way here is my question. I don't know what this is called.

If I installed SS brake lines would I run it from there to the ABS then to the brakes and or just from ABS to brakes? I would assume you would do it all around because you would be bottle necked with the stock lines, can someone clear this up for me.

The piece in the picture is called a proportioning valve. When you buy a ss brake line kit, it only replaces the rubber hoses that connect to the calipers. None of the hard lines will be replaced.

Can you replace them because one of my hard lines are severed

 

[turbosax2]

You could replace one of the hard lines with a custom ss line, but it would be easier to buy a new hard line from the dealer if it's still available. If you explain to us which line is broken, someone can look up the Mitsu part number for you.

Ok I'll try to get a picture of it when I get out of work, buts its broken at the strut its the bottom one on the four run mount, IDK if that helps at all.

I wouldnt even go dealership. I'd just pick up a line from the parts store and go with it.

One line will cost you double over a universal line. Plus he universal lines are so easy to bend these days, a monkey could do it. I did.

When it comes to safety equipment like brakes, I would not recommend anyone that doesn't without a doubt think they could DIY it themselves either buy the part from a dealer or have a certified mechanic do it.

I was going to attempt to make my own clutch hard lines when one developed a leak but decided against it when I read used double flared fittings or something for clutch and brake hardlines. I checked at a local dealer and to my surprise, got the hardline for 4 bucks and some change.
