I am looking for 1 Stock 240 rubber brake line from the front.

S13 or S14, it does not matter

I need to use it for a pattern for some stainless braided Z32 lines. (like length and body side fitting)

Thanks in advance,  
Theo

(willing to pick up west end TO or south of that)

Stock Brake Lines are Different from what you need to Adapt Z32 Calipers onto a S13/S14.

Stock Brakes use a Banjo Fitting, Z32 Calipers use a M10 Female Inverted  
Flair w/ 1mm Thread Pitch so what you need is a M10 Male Iverted Flair w/  
1mm Thread Pitch to thread into the caliper and a M10 Female Inverted Flair  
w/ 1mm Thread Pitch to thread into the stock hardline going through the fender wall.

I made mine 18" long… Anywhere from 16" to 20" is sufficient.

Ok, thanks Adam.

I know they are different, I have the caliper in hand, I was going to bring it to the hose shop with the line and discuss it with the guy.

So, the bend in the line at the caliper side should be a 45 deg. bend to make it point nicely toward the strut mount clip? I want to get them made real nice. I don’t want any of this zip-tie BS.

Still would like to have it on-hand to prevent any screw-ups, ya know?

Thanks again.

A 45deg swivel at the caliper if possible would be key because you  
gotta remember they have to move with the turning of the wheel…

Have the one coming off the hardline straight down though…
