Stainless steel brake lines

[z31maniac]

I'm not quite sure how to explain my question. I'm looking for a set of brake lines where the nut rotates freely of the brake line.

In other words, it's not just crimped on the end of the line. That way you could actually tighten/loosen the nut without it turning the entire line.

Not sure if I'm explaining that clearly enough.

Does any company make lines like this?

people make lines Not like this? how the hell are you supposed to screw both ends on?

It's how the lines were on my old car, just wanted to make sure companies aren't still making them like this before I spend money on lines for my 318.

On steel lines, fittings should rotate freely.
On braided lines, fitting are crimped. So you must set some steps when you fit the parts together... Use your brains. ;-)

It is not really necessary. The nuts on the hard lines rotate freely.

If you screw the line into the caliper first then you can tighten it to the hard line without twisting the soft line.

mine rotate, i wouldnt call it an easy rotation but with a little persuasion they turn

speiglers braided lines can be rotated, but not on the car, in a vice with a tool they send with the lines
