Hi, i need to extend my brake line 6" more, anyone know how without buying a new one?
I could use a gas hose for a car (injection) with 2 small clamps and 2 brass fitting, if it works for gas at high pressure it should also work for the brake, but maybe i'm wrong so i ask the question before.

i would say no, because gas does not get compressed like brake fluid does, and fuel lines will probably just expand.
either redirect your brake line, drop the front forks, or flip the bars.

i was tinking about that, would it work? i got some stainless tubing.
It's for a home made Dune Buggy, my brake line is for a chinese ATV and i need only 6" more, i dont want to spend money on this.

hose clamps and a piece of tubing will work if you use good hose clamps
