FJ40 Brake Conversion.
« on: May 13, 2008, 08:56:20 AM »
Well I just completed my brake conversion using a '85 FJ60 front axle. Now I need front brake lines, does anyone know of a great place to find some? And how far back should I go? My lines are broke by the ball joint. All help is appreciated. :dunno:

I used an FJ62 axle and hooked up the brakes with the lines that were on the axle IIRC.

Move the T to the driver side and swap the left and right hard lines on the axle (requires rebending)...
