Toby,
We just did a rear hub rebuild last weekend. I chose to order the Hub Seal Kit available from Haflinger Technik.

You get enough to do all four corners.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the tip. That seems very reasonable indeed!

For what it's worth, I took my old Haflinger flex lines to a hydraulic place and when they heard it was for a vehicle - they wouldn't touch them.

Then I took them to a local VW tuning specialist (no idea why he was recommended to me, but I had nowhere else to go), and he found me DOT approved rear lines one inch longer than Haflinger ones, and front lines that were two hoses threaded together and ended up a little longer than Haflinger ones, and for the one going from the master cylinder to the 4-way connection, he found me a flex line one inch too short (I had to make a new, longer metal line from the cylinder to this line.)

All this cost me a less than what Swiss Army Vehicles wants for their lines. The only problem was that the fittings on the ends of some of the hoses were slightly larger in diameter than the slots where they attach to the body of the Haflinger, so I had to drill the slots a little larger. Otherwise, the brakes work great. In retrospect, I wish I had the Haflinger lines, but I didn't want to pay for shipping or wait for new lines, as I'd already had everything ready to go.

If anyone needs, I can try and find the part numbers for the flex lines I found.
