Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
We sell the right stuff brand parts and others. Most kits are made for stock installs. Depending on what you have done it can take as little as a minor rebending or a major one if heavily modified. Then you re better off bending your own. I like to do the brakes after all engine,tranny,suspension work is all completed. In line tube is a good brand also. You may consider just buying the rear axle and the front to back tubing if you have done some rework to the front suspension and the braking system. They almost never fit if not stock. We used to sell Classic Tube and still do but I admit the others IMO offer a better product. Sorry Classic if you read this.

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
I'll be the dissenting guy on "Inline Tube".I ordered new lines for my Panel at spring Charlotte.They called Mon after and made sure they had the right spec.I called twice and got "I will get back to you".
Last week I called and cancelled,since I still hadn't gotten them. CAF was April 15th or so.

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
I've built quite a few vehicles using Inline Tube. Haven't had any problems with them yet. Knock on wood

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
We just installed our stainless inline tube brand brake lines in the past couple of days to our rolling chassis. They fit like a glove. Had all the right bends in all the right places. Be sure you know what you are ordering as they have plenty to choose from and kits for every different body style and wheelbase. Their replacement clip kit was great also.

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
I recommend buy from The Right Stuff. And let you guys in on a little secret, Inline Tube buys their 67-72 lines from The Right Stuff.

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
I used InLine Tube, I wish I would have bent the brake lines my self...I forgot, I kind'a did. After unfolding the "shipping bends" I only had to unbend and re-bend in half a dozen places. "Factory bends" HA! Don't get me started.

Re: Best source for Brake LIne kits?
I ordered lines from inline tube. I at first ordered and thought they were completely wrong. Took pictures. They figured out i ordered brake lines for coil rears when i had spring. Double checked everything. Found out they were right but that the fronts were correct still. I also thought the mc lines were wrong. They told me they thought i had a 3/4 ton mc. Double checked that. Right again. I paid to ship them to them. They replaced them and shipped them back for free. I did have to bother them sometimes but they were always nice.
