djjoby Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 We make custom stainless steel braided DOT approved flexlines. We sell them from 2" up to 60" and they sell for $35.00 each regardless of the length and they include the fittings need to attach them to the vehicle. If you provide me with the specific year, make, and model of your vehicle, I can give you our part numbers for the flexlines as well as a price quote for them.

styx0r Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 The front line length isn't the same on all volvos, even within a generally recognized grouping (v70/850), so be extra careful. I ordered SS lines for my 850 and the fronts were about an inch short. Glad I noticed before I snapped em (when installed, they prevented the front wheels from reaching full lock when turning - YIKES!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIAMBLUE Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thanks Yango that has helped immensly, Are you just replacing the fronts then?I want to do all four,Styx i have been told i have to be carefull too as i have 302mm brakes with the brackets, So not too make them too short as they will fail on full lock.
