Re: [Chrysler300] Brake Line Replacement 300G

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Matt, Richard and All:
I used InLine Tube for both the "H" and "F".  The rear end of the long  front 
to rear tube was not correct for the "H", but I made it work.  The  "F" was 
OK.  The tube from the master cylinder to the distribution block  will not be 
authentic.  It should be composed of a "doubler" near  the block.  I made up my 
own for the "F" using the special tube nuts I  found (NOS).
I think with an assembled car---which my "F" was, more or less before I  
finally got around to the brake lines, (idiot!) the trickiest is the long front  
to back line.  Believe me, I was some concerned disconnecting the lower  part 
of the fender and pulling it out so the tube could be threaded thru.   Expected 
that "perfect" paint job to become grossly non-perfect at any  moment!!
300ly, Gil Cunningham

Matt,

You might also try Right Stuff Detailing  
(http://www.rightstuffdetailing.com/). They used the original lines from my G  to add to their catalog a few 
years ago. Fuel lines also.

I don't know  if your car is apart or not, but plan on soaking the threaded 
fitting for as  long as possible before taking apart. I like PB Blaster. Then, 
just make sure  you have a set of Line Wrenches, available anywhere. I used 
stainless lines as  replacements.

Seems line the only line that might be challenging,  assuming car is still 
assembled, is the line that runs under the engine from  left to right. I guess 
with time you will be able to snake it through  everywhere it needs to go. I 
think the rest should be straight forward, but I  did mine when the car was 
totally disassembled.

Good  Luck,

Richard Osborne

Hello Club  Members,

I will be replacing all the brake lines in my 300G. I looked  at two sources 
on-line (Classic Tube & Inline Tube. They list a 6pcs. set  for OEM at $155.00 
& the wheel drum for $20.00. Can you share any  information that I should 
know about replacing the brake lines on my car  (sources, parts required etc). I 
would be grateful for your  input.

Regards,
Matt Ostrowski
Norwich,  Ct
300G
