Brake line kit. Porsche 356 B-T6  ›  1661501110

The OE Match Brake Line Kit is a complete 8-piece rigid hydraulic brake pipe set for selected Porsche 356 B T6 1.6 models with a single-circuit braking system.
SET OF 8.

Designed for left-hand-drive vehicles, the kit replaces the ageing rigid brake pipes that carry pressurised brake fluid from the master cylinder through the vehicle to the wheel braking components.

The pipes are supplied requiring final bending and shaping during installation, allowing them to follow the original factory routing once correctly formed.

The rigid brake pipes form the fixed hydraulic network of the braking system.

When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure. The brake lines transmit this pressure to the braking components at the wheels.

Their functions include:

• Carrying brake fluid under pressure
• Transferring braking force from the master cylinder
• Connecting the different sections of the hydraulic brake system
• Maintaining a sealed hydraulic circuit
• Supporting consistent brake operation at each wheel
• Providing a rigid connection between flexible brake hose sections and other brake components

Without sound and leak-free brake lines, the hydraulic braking system cannot operate correctly.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Signs that rigid brake pipes may require replacement include:

• Visible rust or corrosion
• Deep pitting
• Flaking metal
• Brake fluid around pipework
• Wet unions or connections
• Falling brake-fluid level
• Soft or spongy brake pedal
• Pedal travelling farther than normal
• Pedal slowly sinking under pressure
• Reduced braking performance
• Damaged or crushed pipe sections
• Kinked brake lines
• Corroded union fittings
• Pipes rubbing against the chassis or suspension
• Damaged protective surfaces
• Visible fluid beneath the vehicle

Any hydraulic brake-fluid leak should be treated as a serious fault.

Why Replacement Matters:
Brake pipes are safety-critical components.

Continued use of badly corroded or damaged lines can lead to:

• Sudden pipe rupture
• Brake-fluid loss
• Reduced hydraulic pressure
• Excessive pedal travel
• Increased stopping distance
• Severe loss of braking performance

This risk is especially important on a single-circuit brake system, where one major hydraulic failure can affect the system as a whole.

Replacing deteriorated pipes restores the integrity of the hydraulic circuit.
