    Question for Dennis aka DABS

    Dennis, a week or so ago you posted the following re. replacing the metal brake line running from the backup solenoid to the rubber line in the swing tongue.

    "I believe the 2008 Marine Master trailer had a 6" piece of tubing from the solenoid to the rubber swing tongue hose. It is just a an extension to the 18" hose that has since been replaced with a 24" hose with the pipe tubing now eliminated. The fluid goes into the master cylinder, exits at the bottom rear into an 1/8" close nipple that attaches the solenoid. Right behind the solenoid is what I suspect you are refering is the break. It is all right to tow, but remember you won't have brakes. Pretty easy fix really. Go buy a 3/16" hose, 24" in length, and go straight to the solenoid with it. Bleed the brakes and you're on your way."

    My question is how or what do you connect the new 3/16 hose to the solenoid and existing rubber line? Looks like that when I remove the line at the solenoid, there will be no fitting to attach to there. Thanks for ALL your help!

    The brake line will fit into the solenoid as it already has the female thread for the 3/16" line.

    I am adding something here...like Dennis said it will hook straight to the solenoid...the six inch piece will have a brass connecter on it...u will need this to connect to the main line...
