Re: brake line kits

I used the one from the truck and car shop in orange. It only worked okay, I still felt like I had to do a lot of bending and modding. I'd almost recommend making a template out of wire then making the lines manually. Other vendors like LMC or ECE might be a bit better. In the end, mine did work fine, but just my .02

Re: brake line kits

The pre bent ones are expensive if I remember correctly. I just took some #8 solid ground wire and made a template, then bought some line and borrowed orielys flange tool, had a cheapo line bender from harbor freight and made them off of the prebent wire. Some were to long so I cut those and reused the fitting after bending into place. If you don't want to go that route, check with some venders first, them check lmc.com

Re: brake line kits

I ordered a stainless set from www.inlinetube.com for my 1 ton truck. They seem to be spot on.
They were almost 200$ but $$ well spent in my opinion.
