inline tube brake lines and hoses
Replacing my front lines, went with their ss kit.
2 things * Gotta do a lot of bending to get these to work, hope they seal... * on the hoses, the "nut" fitting does not fit into frame like the factory hoses. The nut is too big, soI just tightened down the fitting on the frame with the big nut on the inside, no clips. Anyone use their lines/hoses and have same experience? Seems like it would be fine? Let me know.

Re: inline tube brake lines and hoses
I used their ss kit on my 69. I ended up throwing half of the kit away, only actually used the front crossover line, line to LF, crossover line for rear, and line to rear. Lines for axle didn't work whatsoever, and I went Wilwood master so all lines associated up to there were useless for me. Going forward, I will forever build my own from scratch fully.

Re: inline tube brake lines and hoses
It's hit or miss. I have had good luck and bad with them. They don't want to hear that their product is bad even if you get a machinist to tell them that the flare is incorrect. Customer service is lacking at most....

Re: inline tube brake lines and hoses
I figured as much...went and bought new calipers and another set of hoses from napa, and the dang hoses don't fit. The fitting on the caliper is WAY too big and can't even get it in the groove. Wasted more time and $ on these brakes.
Tools and parts will be flying soon...VERY soon. Had to walk away today.
