The guys below sell pre-bent lines and sets of lines. I've seen both companies products in use and they are beautifully made. I usually bend and flare my own because I can't justify the $ cause I have the high $ tooling.

I went to autozone and picked up a roll of polyarmour and fittings and got there loaner tool. I havent actually got around to making them yet though.

I bought new trans cooler lines from LMC and they look very nice, I was very pleased with the quality. I plan on buying more lines from them as well.

I bought straight lines, and used the old ones for a template and got it right on the first try. not that hard, just be patient and check and double check your bends. I bet you can do it this way for less than 25% of the cost of pre-bent lines

except for some weird/short brake line
i always buy the rolls for gas and tranny
have my own flare kit,and bend it around what ever works
too costly the prebent lines and if your lifting or lowering the prebents may not work for you

I just bought the LMC front kit because I couldn't find the coil bent lines that come off the master cylinder anywhere. I think thats what they are called. Anyway they leaked like crazy and I ended up cutting the flare off and redoing them myself. Pretty aggravating to spend over $150 for brake lines then they leak like that

I recently made all new lines for my 50 Chevy sitting on an S-10 chassis. Anyway, borrowed a Snap-On hydraulic flaring tool from a friend, that thing should have it's own national holiday! Awesome tool.

those master coils .....just wrap the pipe around a can of beans or something about that size
they are for stress and flex so no harm if not the same size around as before
