Well i wanted to get extended lines and all the prepacked kits were $100 and up. i visited Teegarden Motorsports Specialties here in sacramento and got new 28" lines, frame adapters, caliper adapter and copper seals for $35.

Here are the old brake lines and the new brake lines. Nice braided steel over teflon line.

Here is another view of the old and new lines.

To get the new lines to work with the bronco i needed to install AN adapters. on the drivers side frame i removed the rubber flex line from the hard line and installed this AN adapter. i put a new clip on the back of the fitting.

I repeated this process on the Pass side of the bronco.

|
|
Here is pass side almost ready to be reinstalled. I found these "S" hooks at the local swap meet. nice to not have calipre just hang by the line.
|
|
|
I put the caliper back on and installed the line
|
|
|
Here is another view of the new line and caliper.

|
|
the drivers side is now completed. The rotor looks good and will not need to be replaced at this time.

Here is the pass side done. i needed to roll the truck around so the bad caliper will still stay on for right now. I am not driving the bronco at this time so this is ok for now.
