Rear brake line

[Tropic-al]

Good afternoon to all. Hope no one has been affected by Harvey.
I am rebuilding brakes in my 79F. It has a 3 part rear line. 2 of rubber at ends and a steel middle one. Can I replace with a S/S single line from caliper to M/C ?

Yes you can, many of us have done this including myself.

Beware of those SS lines sold on eBay, the one for the rear of the XS11 is too long and you have to get creative to rout it and keep it out of the way. If I were doing it again, I'd spend the bux and get a Russel SS line...

Thanks Phil and Geezer.

I have Amazon Hose here in Tampa. Been around forever doing hydraulic hoses. About 5 yrs ago they got the OK to do brake lines. I've had them do a couple for me and they're excellent. S/S covered in plastic, black, grayish or clear. They bend banjos to whatever you want. Thanks again.

yes take the old one off, measure for length or ride over to them get one made.
I went with all black even banjos
nice improvement
