what are you guys using for the rear brake line when adding a foot brake? any other fit off the big quads?

call around and find someone who makes brake lines, industrial hoses, gaskets ect.
I forget the length I had made but you need 10mm banjo fittings on the ends, one end works great with a 90 deg and the other end a 45 deg.

I used the stock line, cut it to length and got one bango fitting.

Hose house will have a hydraulic hose crimper to install the banjo.
In my opinion when somebody sells one of the foot brake conversion kits it would be much sweeter if it came with a hose cutstom for it rather than using the stock 27'-0" hose, this kit is already expensive then ya gotta piece the rest of it together. I ended up with the TPR mounting kit with the londer lever and better mounting bracket so we have about 6,000.00 in the footbrake alone :eek2:

I bought mine off of Ebay. Measure the lenght and did search for it.
