Caliper and Brake Lines
The OE Match Brake Line Kit is a complete 8-piece rigid hydraulic brake pipe set for selected Porsche 356 C 1.6 models with a single-circuit braking system.
SET OF 8.
- Porsche 356 C 1.6 01/63-12/65 (LHD Cars)
Designed for left-hand-drive vehicles, the kit replaces the ageing steel brake pipes that carry hydraulic brake fluid between the master cylinder and the wheel braking components.
The set also includes two steel caliper bridge pipes, making it a comprehensive replacement package for the rigid brake pipework used on the 356 C braking system. Selected sections incorporate close-fitting vinyl protection to help reduce damage from stones, debris and road contamination.
What This Product Does:
The rigid brake lines carry pressurised brake fluid through the braking system.
When the driver presses the brake pedal:
- The master cylinder creates hydraulic pressure
- Brake fluid is forced through the rigid lines
- Pressure is transmitted to the wheel braking components
- The brakes apply and slow the vehicle
The brake lines therefore form the fixed hydraulic network connecting the master cylinder with the front and rear braking assemblies.
Their primary functions include:
- Carrying brake fluid under pressure
- Transferring hydraulic braking force
- Maintaining a sealed braking circuit
- Connecting the master cylinder to the wheel brakes
- Supporting consistent brake operation
- Providing rigid connections between flexible hose sections and calipers
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Common signs that rigid brake pipes may require replacement include:
- Surface corrosion
- Heavy rust
- Deep pitting
- Flaking metal
- Brake-fluid leakage
- Wet unions
- Falling fluid level
- Soft brake pedal
- Spongy pedal feel
- Increased pedal travel
- Pedal sinking under pressure
- Reduced braking performance
- Damaged or crushed lines
- Kinked pipework
- Corroded fittings
- Pipes rubbing against the chassis
- Fluid collecting beneath the vehicle
Any visible brake-fluid leak should be treated as a significant braking-system fault.
Why Replacement Matters:
Brake lines are safety-critical components.
Continued use of severely corroded or damaged pipes can result in:
- Brake-fluid loss
- Reduced hydraulic pressure
- Excessive pedal travel
- Longer stopping distances
- Sudden line rupture
- Severe loss of braking performance
The risk is especially important on a single-circuit system, where a major leak can affect the braking system as a whole.
Replacing deteriorated pipes restores the integrity of the hydraulic circuit.

Its job is simple but important: the rubber grommet separates the metal brake line from the surrounding metal panel, helping prevent direct contact, vibration, abrasion and chafing.
Without an effective grommet, normal vehicle movement and vibration can allow the brake pipe to rub against the edge of the body opening. Over time, this can damage the protective coating on the pipe and potentially wear into the brake line itself.
Replacing hardened, cracked, missing or damaged grommets helps preserve the condition of the hydraulic brake pipe and supports long-term braking-system reliability.
What This Product Does:
The brake line grommet protects the rigid hydraulic brake pipe where it passes through the vehicle body.
It is designed to:
- Prevent direct metal-to-metal contact between the brake pipe and bodywork.
- Cushion the brake line inside the body opening.
- Reduce vibration transmitted into the pipe.
- Help prevent brake-line chafing.
- Protect the brake pipe coating from abrasion.
- Help maintain correct positioning of the brake line.
- Reduce movement where the pipe passes through bulkheads or panels.
- Replace a hardened, cracked or missing original grommet.
- Support long-term hydraulic brake-line integrity.
Although small, the grommet performs an important protective function in a safety-critical braking system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible signs of deterioration include:
- Rubber becoming hard or brittle.
- Visible cracking.
- Splitting around the centre opening.
- Grommet becoming loose in the body panel.
- Grommet partially pulling out of its mounting hole.
- Missing sections of rubber.
- Complete loss of the grommet.
- Brake line contacting the edge of the body opening.
- Visible rubbing marks on the brake pipe.
- Worn protective coating on the brake pipe.
- Rust developing where the pipe has been chafing.
- Brake line moving excessively in the opening.
- Squeaking or light rubbing noises where movement is present.
- Grommet deformation caused by age or incorrect installation.
Because the grommet is small and often located in less visible areas, deterioration may only be discovered during brake-line inspection or restoration work.
Why Replacement Matters:
The brake pipe is a safety-critical component.
A damaged or missing grommet may not immediately cause a braking fault, but continued metal-to-metal contact can gradually damage the pipe.
Replacing the grommet helps restore:
- Correct brake-line support.
- Isolation from the vehicle body.
- Protection against chafing.
- Reduced vibration.
- Protection of the pipe’s outer coating.
- Reduced risk of localised corrosion.
- Factory-style brake-line routing.
- Long-term hydraulic system reliability.
