I recently got rid of my old 110 and now have a shiney 2006 TD5 110. Now its time to ruin it with masive suspension and wheels and winches and bits!

Put all the bits in the online basket for a 4" lift, but one problem; It doesent look like anyone does extended braded brake lines for Defender this new. :doh:

Anyone seen any anywhere?

Thanks, Rich.

The flexy braded hoses? I dont mean the copper ones. Plus I woulded find it hard to trust a garage to do that.

Sorry - my mistake

Someone like this could probably assist

Flexible Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hose - variety of colours

or if you have one near you, a hydraullic (think JCB) repair/maintenace firm might be able to make what you need up

most garages could fit any hose you want by putting whatever fitting on steel or copper pipe to suit flexi ,but landies have used the same fittings for years so been to age specfic shouldnt be a worry

Yea, Ive got Bearmachs longest hardest springs so should lift it a far bit. Deciding on which degree of radius arms to get, most are 3 degree but Ive also seen 6 degrees?!?
