Front to back brake line - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in desperate need of a front to back brake line for my '70, with the hose as well. No luck of course with the parts stores, as they only have 6' line. Aside from the bone yard, what can I do?

get a union and put two pieces of line together the parts house should have the brake hose if not leave and go somewhere else. there are no lengths longer than 6 ft anyways a union should be under a dollar

Brake line is available in 25 foot rolls, so you can make them out of one piece, cut and double flare ends for the fittings.

The store where I buy mine does not stock the tubing, but they will order it for me.

I just re-did mine using two pieces and a union. There is absolutely no problem with doing is this way. Otherwise you could go to Classic Tube or Inline Tube and buy a pre-bent replacement line. Any parts store should be able to get the hose.
