Our southern brethren aren't going to understand why you would need a brake line kit.

I constantly take 2 or3 trips to the parts store getting the right brake line adapters, so this would be a nice set up if you do enough of them. Alloy hard line..... Not to sure about that.

Mike

Will report back after I install it. Heck you will see it when you come to visit.

Yeah. No I ended up getting a section of line and bending it myself. lol

Tim - that kit looks sweet!

and you can bend it by hand!!

Be careful bending it without a mandrel to keep it from kinking. Once you kink it you can not unkink it.

Tim,was the kit real costly?
Jim

About $75..............

I'll be under the car after work with a wire brush and some Rust-Oleum....

Am I missing something here? Brake line is five bucks, flared with the fittings on it already. Parts stores all carry the correct length from the block to the wheel cylinder. It is easily bent by hand, and if you need a really tight radius, you use a bender.

Why spend 75 on a kit with more than you need?

I wanted to have the extra fittings and will end up with enough to do 2 lines. Also it will not rust.
