Brake lines

[Gary A Strickland]

Hello,
I'm hoping someone knows who sells brake lines, not in kits. I've replaced the old master cylinder with a dual reservoir. Looking for lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block and from the block to the driver's side rubber line.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any auto supply store should have pre made lines and adapters to fix you up. You have to bend them yourself...

I bent my own from the MC. I was pretty happy with the result. Coiling the lines took a bit of practice but I got them to run as I wanted with the booster moving the MC forward.

Good luck there.

Inline tube sells a kit that has just the two master lines and a new distribution block.

This should be all you need.

just go to your auto store and buy straight sections the correct length and bend them yourself.
I think i used about a 2" pipe for coil and radius sections.

I bend and double flare (must double flare, DOT requirement) all my lines myself. I like the copper nickle lines as they bend easily and NEVER work harden. They also flare like butter. I get it in coils.
You can get a brake line straightener for around $85 and up. There is a free method I use to straighten which employs tension. I do it differently than this video but you will get the idea.

I am on my second set of stainless steel Inline Tubes (IT) brake lines on my MC. The connection at the MC for the rear brakes will not seat - it weeps.

I attached the lines according to IT’s instructions, but no help. That’s when I broke down and bought another set - same damn problem.

Then this past weekend I watched “Gearz,” and he was making brake lines and he commented that you should use nicopp or steel, but not stainless steel. The reason? Stainless steel cannot be double flared- only single flared, and that tends to crack, or not seat, and will probably leak.

Tomorrow I will try to make a nicopp line, double flare it and see if that leaks.
