Goodridge 68-73 Datsun 510 SS Brake Lines

If you're working on a 1968-1973 Nissan 510 and want to improve your braking system, these Goodridge stainless steel brake lines are a solid option. They replace your stock rubber lines with a PTFE inner hose wrapped in a stainless steel outer braid. This construction helps eliminate that spongy feeling you can get from old rubber lines, especially under hard braking, leading to a more consistent pedal feel and improved braking efficiency. You'll notice a difference in how your brakes respond, and the stainless steel braid also offers better resistance to abrasion and corrosion than rubber.

Goodridge puts these lines through a 9-point quality assurance test to make sure they meet federal requirements and perform reliably. The PTFE hose is key here; it handles higher pressures without expanding like rubber does, which is what causes that mushy pedal. This means you get more direct hydraulic pressure to your calipers, potentially reducing stopping distances and giving you more confidence when you need to brake hard. Plus, the stainless steel braid looks sharp and holds up well against road debris and moisture.

This kit includes two front lines, two rear lines, and adapters to help with installation. They are designed to be a direct replacement for your original lines, making the swap straightforward. Just remember to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the best results.
