Proline Motorsport Brake Line kits.

That’s a tidy little setup there

The bracket?

 

[1985michael182]

The only benefit to using proline is he uses clear shrink wrap on the to keep them clean and tidy and he has the crimping tool for the ends.

 

[1985michael182]

4 port and 2 pot side by side

Is that making solid lines of braided ones?

braided.

 

[JamesBryan]

Best place for braided supplies and fittings?

 

[bloke]

I use torques on eBay. Can get stuff a bit cheaper or if you want to wait a bit and get it from China you'll save a fair bit.

Their stuff is good, delivery 90% of the time is next day and they keep a good range in stock.

Yep, I used Torques for virtually all of my stuff. I did use the odd bit from eBay suppliers where Torques were out of stuff, but Torques are really helpful if you go direct.

I take it you can't crimp the stainless ends yourself without the right tools?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I take it you can't crimp the stainless ends yourself without the right tools?

You need special tools to do the crimped ends, but I just used the screw together type from Torques and never had a leak from any joints. Plenty of pro-built competition cars don't use crimped ends, so it's not essential.

 

[bloke]

Downside to crimping is you're stuffed if you need to change any of the fittings.

Yea you would have to buy a full new pipe

I did all the braided ones in my rally car with only basic tools. There are plenty of how-to guides online but, once you've done one, it's easy.

I found this video online and looks really simple to make your own lines

 

[VenomUK]

Thats brilliant stuff guys. I’ve got myself a 172 cup MC now so will get some more bits and get making. Did you just follow the same route as the steel lines followed to the front under the arches and then sent the rears in through the bulk head and out towards the rears?

I’m looking to make internal lines with a bias valve.

Appreciate all your help and advice.

 

[1985michael182]

So on the cup master cylinder the 2 smaller ports which are closest to the bulkhead go to your left and right front brakes, the larger ports to the front are the rears but you need to blank one of the larger front ports off

Also check you servo as you master cylinder needs to seal properly onto it

 

[1985michael182]

I bought a second hand one in better condition, blasted it and then painted it

Why does one need to be blanked off?

So does one line run to the back and then “T” off to either side of the rear callipers?

 

[1985michael182]

Yes. Larger port goes through your bulkhead into your bias valve and then T's off at the rear to each rear caliper

 

[VenomUK]

Yes. Larger port goes through your bulkhead into your bias valve and then T's off at the rear to each rear caliper

What’s the 4th port for then that gets blanked off is is it a case of Renault raiding the parts bin and blanked a port off?

 

[Usr117063]

2 lines would go to the rear compensator valve but since the bias valve is 1 inlet and 1 outlet theres little point using both rear pots on the mc to then go into 1 for the valve. If Im not mistaken its also a safety feature about the mc partly failing but probably being mixed up with something else.

You can get 2 in 2 out valves but not cheap

 

[1985michael182]

Yes your right, normally your front left and rear right are linked and your front right and rear left. It's so the car will brake in a straight line if something fails in the MC

 

[VenomUK]

I’ve looked on the torque page on eBay and unable to find any unions for the end of the braided hose....not like those in that video I posted. Any suggestions to alternatives or other suppliers? Or am I just being stupid and not searching for the correct part?

Should be all here

Where are you based?

 

[JamesBryan]

You want to be looking under the AN3 Teflon/PTFE section.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

If they don't have it on their eBay shop, email them and ask them directly. There's a fair chance they'll have it and will send you a PayPal invoice through email.

That’s what I thought that I was looking at the wrong fixings and should have been looking for the AN type fixings.

I’m based in Gloucester

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

They're usually really helpful. If you ask them what you're trying to do, they should be able to offer you some advice.

 

[dann2707]

It's all coming out of the woodwork now how much this guy has conned people and fucked things up. He has conned someone in the US and now this "company" is commenting on their Facebook verbally abusing and bullying them

An absolute disgrace of a company and I urge no one to use them!!

 

[Stay Puft]

So what’s he actually done?

 

[Clio_fool]

He's transferred the brake lines business to someone else now allegedly. I guess someone is chasing him as he's doing a clio turbo and shutting shop.

 

[dann2707]

So what’s he actually done?

Basically not sent loads of parts or when he did it was just weeks after weeks before they were sent, then they were wrong. His ebay feedback speaks volumes

 

[dann2707]

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I only ever bought one thing off him (a custom clutch hose for my rally car) and he was really helpful to be honest.

A shame it ended up like this, but seems to be the way with so many small car parts businesses.

 

[Stay Puft]

Must be a recent thing, I ordered braided hoses and came two days later

Definitely not a recent thing sadly, had the same issues 2 years ago

 

[1985michael182]

I've bought the full 172cup 4port bulkhead kit and some front braided lines. Yes they were late, but the product was top notch. Fit like a dream.
It's a shame the owner is a pleb.
