Another Tech-53 innovation!
Brake hard line conversion to Stainless steel braided, for all A1 chassis cars, except pick up. Clean up your cars braking system, and make it a step above, with having 100% stainless braided lines. We tested this kit on our track car, for the past 10 years or so. It is flawless in performance and feel.
This kit comes with the proper length to run from the master cylinder, to the anchor points on the body before the calipers.
Eliminate the flared ends of the hard lines, as the lines come with JIC-3 ends, and proper M10 bubble flare fittings (male on the master, and female on the other side) They are both swivel, to enable proper routing, without any twists nor clocking issues.
Will fit Mk1 Golf / Rabbit, Mk1-Mk2 Scirocco Jetta, and Cabriolet. We also offer a kit for the MK1 Pickups.
I want all my brake lines to be stainless steel braided, from the master cylinder to the calipers.
This kit replaces solely the hard lines, not any soft lines. If you wish to replace all the brake lines on your setup, you would also need the front stainless steel brake lines and the the rear stainless steel brake lines for drums or discs. We offer a combo kit for both front and rear brake lines. For the VW pickup you will need a different version of the rear brake lines.
Why are the lines in this kit not going directly from the master cylinder to the calipers?
If a leak appears in a brake line during an accident, or because of road debris, one would only need to replace the brake line from the anchor points to the caliper, instead of routing a 100+ feet long line across the entire body a second time. Most people already have front or rear stainless steel braided lines, as it's a common performance solution for the braking system. This would allow them to keep in place the lines they've already paid for, and only replace what was still untouched from the factory.
There's a proportioning valve on the car, what should I do?
We came up with a super simple solution for those who would like to keep a prop valve with a kit that relocates it directly on the master cylinder. They are made for a rear disc application, not drums.
