brake lines for 71 510 wagon

[Dirty Evo]

i feel super stupid even for asking this, but all i am finding, whether ROCK AUTO or local auto parts or EBAY is lines for SEDAN

 

I need to replace the brake lines on my 510 wagon (71).. are they same lines as the sedan or if not anybody have a source? the REAR ones on websites actually say "EXCEPT WAGON"

 

not looking for anything fancy, just replacing the tired old kinked, frayed, damp lines....

 

thanks

sedan and wagon are the same for the front the rear line is just a short line i believe.

Remove the old ones and measure the individual lengths. Buy pre made lengths of brake line from auto supply store, the same or the closest over length and bend them yourself. Might not hurt to get a brake line flaring tool to shorten some longer lengths. Bend around a baseball bat handle. Make sure the fittings are out at the ends before bending as they probably can't be moved past the bends once made.... just tape them there.

 

The line from the front, on the goon, stops before the rear differential and joins to a flex line. Flex line down to the rear axle and to a brass T connector. One long and one short line from the T out to each rear brake cylinder.

I did pretty much what mike said to do.

 

I took the old cracked line out and used a string to measure it and then went to the local parts store and bought a line about that same length and it was already flared. So I just used my old line to copy the bends onto the new one and re-installed it.

 

Here is a pic of my old and new line. New on bottom.

Couldn't find the 510 goon rear brake line but the later HL510 goon right rear (the short side) is almost $20. You could do both the backs and the long line to the back for less than that.
