msg · 11-07-2019, 03:19 PM

Im nearing the point where the lines can go back in and I plan to replace what came off. Ive never done this before so I dont want to screw up and order stuff that doesnt fit or even things I didnt need. Is it best to buy pre bent or bend it up for a newbie? Ive got a tool for the bending I used in the past and I think I could manage the bending..the flaring and hardware parts I have no idea about though. Here is what I have in the pile of replacement parts. I only labeled the transmission cooler lines so Ill need to make sure I have the lines properly identified. In this pic, I think these are all brake lines, but the one to the left has a double line thing going. I have a dual master cylinder but the kits Im finding online on a 66 dont have that, so where should I be looking instead since a conversion had been done before?
