marlin brake lines
« on: Jul 08, 2005, 07:22:21 PM »
Has any body used marlins brake lines?
I can not get the e-clip or the flat c-clip on my rear line.
So my question is do they use the same size clips?

Try using a small hose clamp.

I threw away the c-clips and modified the other piece to hold it in place.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

We can't find the parts to make them the same way toyota does. This is how all aftermarket brake lines fit. You can use a rat tail file to open up the stock clips, then they will fit. We also sell a clip kit for $5 per line. The kit include a mount and larger clip.
