Who is parting an E30 (minor part needed)

[lukasbmw]

I need one rear brake line that runs along the control arm. Actually, I just need the portion in the picture below:



The portion on the solid metal line that connects to the line comming off the subframe. So to save on shipping, yank the line, and then clip the damn connector off.

Why do I need this?

I'm currently doing this in the rear:



E30 trailing arm lines ziptied to the M roadster trailing arms and connected to rubber lines.
Ghetto and dangerous. My plan is to have a shop custom make me one long stainless line that will run from the stainless lines coming from the subframe all the way to the caliper. However to do this, I will need the appx measurments (done), a sample connector for the brake caliper (have) and a sample connector for the rear subframe line (why I need this part).

Thanks.

Tech: Do you believe a stainless line coming from the subframe stainless lines will be safe? I see no problem, but might as well check/

Mods, please keep this here as it is half tech half parts wanted.

I should have that line, i've got 2 trailing arms in the garage, not sure if there the passenger side or not, but I'll go check.

Eric, you should not run a stainless line that long. You should run a long as hardline as possible with a short as possible flex line. If you do choose that route, make sure the entire line is shrinkwrapped so that dirt cannot get under the stainless mesh.

HTH,
