I picked up Russel braided stainless brake lines to replace all the rubber lines. They will be here this week. Got my fittings and NiCopp lines, too. Next weekend I’ll get them done.

I also got the Russell braided lines, they look like they’re well built. Will also be using Nicopp lines for brake and fuel, accept for the two on the rear axle, I ordered the stainless version from inlinetube. Should be here tomorrow.

That’s pretty much how mine will be now. I had full stainless from Lines To Go but they wouldn’t seal up worth a damn from the ABS to the rear drop hose so I replaced with NiCopp.

Ok. I need to figure out a bump stop for this. I already spit-balled in SNCTMPL’s thread.

Drill hole in notch, weld washer/nut to the notch then thread in my bump stop? Any other idea for fastening these to the notch? I’m worried that welding that dinky nut to the frame will come off if I ever bottom out.

What about welding a plate to the notch that is L shaped and bolting the bump stop to that? Something like this. Should be easy enough to fab and brace. My friend Brad could have this whipped up pretty quick and welded on even faster.

You could do a bracket like that and then something like these that @Caman96 found.

I bet the frame is thick enough to tap threads into.

Didn’t even think about just tapping threads. Pretty smart.

Edit: I didn’t think about tapping the frame but I did spend 15 minutes googling Neodymium magnets to hold bump stops in place. So that counts for something…?
