Any decent brake place should be able to do it for you, or at least tell you who can.

Brake hoses

Post by starion4me »

Mate, i got Enzed hoses out and they made up all the hoses for me. I just had to unbolt them, hand them to the guy, he made new ones and i bolted them back on. Can't get much easier than that. They come to you.

Hope this helps

The receipt doesnt give a break down for each one. Basically i got the following done for $470
new fuel lines from tank - feed and return
new steel brake lines under the bonnet
new steel clutch line
new slave cylinder line
new brake rubber hoses for each wheel

did you, or has anyone got braded or better flexi brake lines? and are they really that much better? and remember, if you don’t have the $470 those vans are mobile, just smack the guy in head with a brick and take the whole thing home :D

Mine failed a warrant for the exact same thing.

Was going to take it in to a Brake + Clutch place and have them deal with it.

Had the four front rubber brake hoses made today by a company in Canberra called Australian Brake Sleeving (02 6239 3343). Cost was $25 per hose ($100 total) they made them to measure in less than half an hour.

They look well made and are ADR compliant. They also do ADR compliant braided lines and quoted me $45 each line for the starion.

They can make lines to suit virtually any car, as long as you provided them a line to copy.

I assume that you went to their workshop? That is an excellent price.

Do you know if they have branches in other cities?

I went to their workshop, but I believe that will deal with them through the post it necessary. I don't think they have braches in other states, as it seems to be a family run business.
