Hi guys, Front right brake line on my mothers celsior has split (im reffering to the rubber line that goes from the bracket to the brake caliper)
Rang toyota, no help, does anyone know where I can get these items, or have any laying around your willing to sell, ideally after both sides as the others cant be far away from death haha.
Failing that I was just going to take them to a hydualic shop and see if they could make some up for me, but will no doubt be more expensive.

Im aware of that option, My celsior has SS lines on it, and honest I can't tell a differance in the feel at all.
But my mothers celsior does about 100km's a year, so I was hoping to pick up some 2nd hand but still in good condition brake lines. As the car isnt really worth spending money on.
As for getting them made to up, just went to enzed and another hydrulic hose company and they said its not possible due to the type of fitting used.
So im left with 4 options,
Goodridge stainless steel (all 4 corners) - Should be able to have them at my door for around $190 AUD
Another mod I found on ebay have them, but they dont say for what year ls400 they suit (awaiting a reply) and they are for $120 AUD to my door (awesome price) but all depends if they suit the 1989-1994 model.
Lexus quoeted me $95 each. (too expensive if you ask me for a brake line ) awesome customer service tho.
Im hoping to find some one with a pair lying around. Either have upgraded to SS lines, or have fitted celsior brakes to their soaerer so have a pair of celsior brake lines around doing nothing.

Sorry rich,
What was that name of the store again?
I wrote it down but misplaced the piece of paper it was on, off the top of my head I thought you said auto-one at slacks creek, but after spending some time on google there is no auto-one or auto-pro in slacks creek. But im no doubt wrong.
