So I spent most of my day today trying to get the toyota brake line to hook up to the ford dana 60 stainless steel line. Evco had nothing, except to start over from scratch which was too much $$$. I could build my own hard line but and thought I could get fittings off a hard line that autozone or napa carried. The 60 side there was only 3/8 hose fittings where as the toyota side is 1/4. any suggestions. Evco can get a fitting to adapt the two but said it wouldn't be here for 2 weeks.

Someone on here (can't recall his name) hooked me up with some funky hoses for my sand rail. Hopefully he'll chime in. I believe the company was Hose Products. Did you try them?

I used Napa recently for the same issue. They had adapters that worked...

Found the original thread. It's Eflegal at Hose and Rubber Products on here who helped me out.

That's a good resource. I might just go see him and see what a set of lines will cost. I like the "drive in/drive out" idea, that's awesome.

I've had them made at EVCO in the past, SAE on one side of a rubber line, Metric on the other.

They used to not do brake lines. I think they still will only do them at a few of their stores, but I do know they will do them now.
Thats what my original plan was however the line off the dana 60 was 7/16 and they didn't have a fitting to down size. Hose and rubber supply did have the fittings though and I was in and out in 2 minutes.
I ran into the same problem, so I cut the hard lines & reflared the ends.
its been that way for 4 yrs, no problems.

Hose and rubber supply
They've had everthing I needed for everthing I have done to mine. I won't even use evco any more.

Ya they had everything I needed to hook them up but to have another line made for the rear I had to go back to evco cause they didn't have any of that stuff on hand.
