A little.

I Love when these backwoods shadetree mechanics that spent zero time actually testing, at school, and being paid by your employer for training, tell me that something "Doesn't matter", all because they did work on a farm truck that sees 500 miles of road and 1500 miles of fields annualy, and didn't have an issue.

Meanwhile I'm over here on fleet vehicles hitting 20-30k a year on the road where there are other vehicles.

I paid my dues, got my certs, went through training, and actually have the mental capacity to understand 'why" and "where" which is why I am a Specialist, and he tells me I'm wrong.

Its my job to be right dude.

Ok all you smarty pants. The length of the stupid line will not matter. Period. As long as it has fluid in the line it could be 5 miles long it will still move the same amount of fluid. Hydraulics 101 boys.

but like the last post said. Diameter is the one that has to be the same/

:spock: I made brake lines for a solid three months @ Pitt State Auto Tech, do you know what our ASE Certified Master Tech told us and taught us?

And no brake lines are different lengths.


ok guy... What about thepickups that the passenger side line runs into the drivers side line in the drivers wheel well then runs over?

Wouldn't that be pretty unbalanced?

I'm dying to hear this because the brake lines just transmit pressure and if they are bled properly there will not be any difference in pressure for lines 1/16" difference in length.

I've had this type of discussion with guys that just got out of school before. Work in the real work for awhile and you will learn.

I understand what they are going to teach in school, but is not always real world applicable.

Once more, in English please.



So you're telling me that in a system that is not 100% continuously pressurized with fluid, that the length of a brake line does not matter. I won't disagree on diameter at all, but length you are wrong.

What happens? For those that want to know. The shorter the distance from the master cylinder to the caliper, the sooner braking force will be applied on that caliper. What happens when one side of the car brakes before the other? It pulls. Is pulling a good thing? Apparently according to Jason.

He just sidestepped the fact that my analysis was right, and basically admitted he was wrong, and you're agreeing with him.

I've heard it all now.
