Can you use braided stainless?

try www.inlinetube.com

i'd rather just use a hard line than try to piece together teh fittings and junk for a stainless line.

i looked at that inlinetube place and it will cost me 70 bucks for the one i need but it comes with another one that i don't need.

anybody else have an idea?

Just make a line, it can't be THAT hard.

No, I read it. :p I know how you feel though, I busted a brake line once and found it I'd have to order it and it was $$, so I just grabbed a brake tube and bent it by hand :D

Ryan, try Napa, or the dealership. Otherwise, I know you could pick one up from a local salvage yard. Did you not keep the old one, or was it thrashed?

Junkyard may be worth a shot.

Does the brake lines have that double flare? Those can be a pain in the butt to make sometimes.

i think i'll try a salvage yard monday. which means i won't be able to start it up this weekend like i hoped. i'm cooled down a now but i was pretty mad last night. what happened was that i needed to cut about 6 inches off of my fuel feed line because of a different pump i'm using, so i got underneath there with my little tube cutter and there were a few hard lines and i somehow managed to cut the brake line right in half instead of the fule line:( i feel so dumb
