Got a little bit done today.
This is the fuel tank evap line that went into the charcoal canister which is now under my workbench never to be installed again. I cut this line back so it ends underneath the car. May do something more with that later but it's fine for now. So here you can see that evap line that I removed. Also that is where the stock ABS and charcoal canister used to be, so I have a nice big empty corner there now :) http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1291780568 Picked up a Tee Fitting (3/8-24) from Vatozone. So on the Tee side they will be standard fittings, but on the car components they will still be metric to mate up to their respective components. Bought two lengths of 3/16" line from Vatozone as well. This is some sort of copper alloy which is nice to use as it's easy to bend. I still have to flare one end of it but you can basically see how it is routed here. This is the Tee for the front brakes. So it will just leave the master cylinder, go into the Tee and from there two lines will come out (1 for pass side and 1 for drv side). So that is the only line I've made so far, but I consider it a success as I worked slow to try and make it as nice as possible, and it was the first line I've ever made before so it's not perfect, but not bad for the first time :) http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1291780568 http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1291780568 So 1 line down. Figure I can slowly just work on and aim for 1 line a day, and then the brakes should be done. |
Re: Project Lex
I like that copper line, its almost gold like!! lol

Front brake lines are all mocked up. All I need to do is some flaring which I think is going to suck, haha. Here's some pics, showing how the line is routed.

Re: Project Lex
Nice. So are the brakes all proportioned correctly doing this then?
|
Re: Project Lex
Yes, the proportioning valve is built into the master cylinder.

Re: Project Lex
Hmmm... maybe it comes with Ms. Pacman already on it :)
Anyhow no real big update. Spent the weekend in Fargo so wasn't able to do much. However Dave Henry (black redonk na-t supra) was kind enough to let me and the g/f stop by his place to chat for a little while this weekend. I picked up a drain line flange from him that'll bolt to the oil pan so one more small part to add to the stash of parts in the garage. Kind of cool to see some of the stuff he's doing, as well as some nice carnage. |

Didn't have much time today, but was able to go to my cousins today and borrow his flaring tool. I removed that first upper line and decided to just give this flaring tool a shot while laying in bed. One end was already flared, so I only had to flare one end. So here's my pics of the process of applying a double flare to the line. Was pretty simple, and took only a couple minutes. Turned out just fine it looks like. I suppose the real test will be once it's installed and hopefully doesn't leak.
Break out your professional deburring tool: http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 Use the die to measure the correct amount of line is protruding out of the clamp http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 First flare created with the die http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 Use cone to make the double flare http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 Double flare done http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 http://mitsustyle.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1292386959 Also, the stereo company from Chiyyna shipped out a new stereo to me, that should arrive here in the next few days. Hopefully this one lasts a little bit longer than the last one. It cost me $68 to ship it back to them, then another $10 to send me a new one. They won't reimburse any of that. BS in my opinion, but not much I can really do. Just hope this one works better. |
Re: Project Lex
Good work. Shit's pro, son!
|
Re: Project Lex
Nice work on the lines! Custom brake lines have always been kindof a mystery to me.
|
Re: Project Lex
damnit wrong thread lol sorry.
|
Re: Project Lex
Thanks for all the kind words! And yeah my first time delving into brake lines as well. Really not that tough. Especially with this copper alloy line i'm using, they're very easy to bend. And the flaring was a sinch. But again, the true test will be when they are all hooked up, and see if they leak or not.

Re: Project Lex
I thought for a second your flaring tool was the giant buck knife. That would have been skill to do a double flare with that.

Re: Project Lex
I like all the rust on it, I wonder what else you use that for? hmmm...
Looks good. I found this: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/an...113521203.html $380 - Pioneer http://images.craigslist.org/3nf3k43...85665b11c8.jpg Might be something to look at? Pretty close to the price of that chickedy china unit. |
Re: Project Lex
^ that doesnt have NAV...
Good luck on the new chyna unit. Sucks you had to pay more, but with electronics I usually stick to the proven brands for a little more money. Less hassle in the end. |
Re: Project Lex
^You are right, my bad I thought it said it had Nav or maybe it was a diff. ad.
Might be worth a call to see what he can do for one with NAV. This has steered me away from the chyna bay stereos, I have my eye on a nice alpine flipout for my ride next year. |
