Flex brake lines
I recently found out that the flex brake lines are still available from Nissan and they're reasonably priced. I bought mine for $17.58/ea. and got them in 3-4 days.

Re: Flex brake lines
Part numbers for those are in the parts list Tech Wiki and they are the same for at least the 66 through 70.

Re: Flex brake lines
By 'flex" do you mean the rubber brake hoses?
If so Napa has UP36737 with the 3/8-24 threads.

Re: Flex brake lines
You should be able to look them up on Dorman's website, I believe they have diagrams and everything

Re: Flex brake lines
I had to send the Dorman hoses back because the threads were wrong. Wound up getting them from the Nissan dealer.

The vendor is LNF Brakes from Argentina. Add $10 for shipping. One may be better off dealing w/ a US seller.
Brake hoses on on my short list of next projects. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Flex brake lines
Advise getting the SS flex lines from places like Orme Bros http://www.ormebrothers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or a similar hydraulic hose company. You can get a firmer brake pedal from these better hoses. Clutch hose and the all important oil line also available. Bring in your old lines and save fitting on oil line.

Re: Flex brake lines
Thanks. Clutch hose is also on the list (upcoming post). Oil line? Which one is that?
For SF Bay Area locals, any vendor recommendations? Thx.

Re: Flex brake lines
It comes out of the block on the right side , in the late cars. If it blows you are toast.

Has anyone tired the Goodridge #22050 set. They seem to be available from several sources for under $100.
