Title: inexpensive brake lines available
Post by: bob66542 on November 11, 2022, 09:40:15 AM
I recently have been dealing with swollen brake lines on my 81 R65 w/ ate brakes. the orig. lines are no longer available from BMW, and switching to modern banjo style lines is kind of pricey, so I spent some time looking for an alternative and found these Dorman H38795 lines. they are actually for a 90 toyota cresseda sedan, but they are the correct fittings and 1/2" longer than the orig. I had to modify the bracket, but they seem to work great. Ive tried to attach a pic. but appaently the file is too big.

Thankyou Bob and welcome.

For UK members that line is available here too.

Is this it.

Nice find! And they even sell their brake line on Amazon for around $20!
