I have a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and My rear brake line rusted out and the other one that runs parallel to it is pretty bad as well. I Need the LSPV ( Load sensing Proportioning valve) and the 2 brake lines that run to the rear of the truck from that valve. I live in wisconsin so the junkyards all have very rusty ones, to the point where I broke one at a yard trying to free it loose after soaking it in wd40.
I cannot find them anywhere, I cannot find Brake diagrams that give the part numbers either.
I would love someone to save my week, and give me a link to napa or carquest that has these
Please list any infomation(Links) or if you have these parts!!!
I really need a part / Model number that I can use to find them online
Can I get a flexible brake line kit(long rubber hose) that I can run myself??
Also, what size are brake lines on these things, 1/4 or 3/8?
I know I am not the only one dealing with this issue.
Any legit input or ideas, or even someone that has overcome this issue, please chime in, I am new here!
BTW, my vitara was inherited from my aunt and has 61k miles on it, and I dont want to start considering getting rid of a good little truck from some stupid issue.

Here is the LSPV, it didnt attatch to first post

The LSPV (if fitted) is at the other end of the vehicle, over the rear axle, and connected to it by a spring - what is shown in those pictures would be best described as a junction block - it joins the steel brake lines to the rubber hoses that allow for movement between the truck's body & frame.
Long rubber hoses would make for a very soft soggy feeling & possibly ineffective brake system - the rubber swells under pressure.
Hopefully Dudley will be along and can find you a part number - I don't have access to my parts manual at this time.
Dudley, this block sits on the inside of the right frame rail, just below the firewall - the brake lines come down the firewall, connect to two short rubber hoses, and then into the junction block.
Schnako - it may be possible to "re-plumb" the brake system to work without these hoses - not all body on frame vehicles have them, Toyota, as an example, wrap the brake line into a "spring", perhaps 1-1/2" in diameter, and 5~6 loops - all that is required is to allow for the slight flexing that occurs between the body & the frame.
Edit................
Sorry - wrong forum - Schnako - Dudley is not a member of this forum - post the question & pictures over at the Suzuki forums (www.suzuki-forums.com (http://www.suzuki-forums.com)) and either he or Max will help you get part numbers.
