Looking for some advice. I'm thinking about buying complete brake and fuel lines from Classic Industries (CI). Anyone have experience with those products? I heard SS is a pain to work with and the original material is better....Anyone agree of disagree? Any pointers or advice for all new brake and fuel lines? I'm working with a blank canvas...I don't even have the old ones on the car, so flying totally blind. Any other options (sellers) to consider other than CI? Any and all advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Rod
 
Just buy them direct from The Right Stuff.... don't go through Classics! They'll come bent in the center to get them in the box, just carefully straighten them out. Material choice is yours, either will out live you as you're, probably, not going to drive around on salt laden Winter roads. I did all stainless on my Bee, just make sure all the sealing faces are clean and ding free. Then install and snug, leave them and come back and snug them again. Zero leaks on mine, but others have complained they had a hard time getting them to seal.

Put all SS lines and fittings on my '68 cuda because they will never oxidize- they will always look great. No pre-bent lines will be perfect, they all need a little "tweaking". So there will be times when I had to mildly adjust some bends. That was a little annoying but doable. In the end they look good.
 
well...if you have the time buy straight sections from your local auto parts store and bend them yourself for an exact fit.Regular brake lines will never corrode and look more correct but that's a personal taste.
 
Make sure you grab a couple of unions and the passenger side front brake line can be a challenge.
I'm lucky, i like doing' stuff like that. GL
