DOT 3 Compatible Tubing

Post by RckyMtnHi »

Hopefully someone here can help me out. I have called every auto parts store on the west side of town and I cannot find DOT 3 compatible hose with a 3/8" inner diameter. I added the ABS electric brake system and the MC gravity feeds to the pressure vessel. Both the MC and PV have 3/8" press on prongs and the system calls for DOT 3 fluid. I called the manufacturer and they had nothing to offer as far as sourcing the tubing is concerned. The guy at Jegs couldn't find anything after 15 minutes of searching.

My bronco is parked until I figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try Whistler Bearing, the Parker Store, or other hose suppliers/fabricators for industrial applications. I've had Whistler make up custom power steering hoses for me before as well as repair high pressure hydraulic lines for equipment at work. We have also used Parker hoses as well. Hope this helps.

Also check with AAI Speed. They can make brake lines on site, might have something like that. Also check with Emrick and Hill.

Thanks for the help guys.

I ordered ProFlex 6AN hose from Summit, it should be here tomorrow http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-632060/

From what I have read synthetic rubber should be compatble with DOT3, I will call the speed shop in the morning to confirm.
