Brake Lines

[frankdatank01]

Where are you getting your brake lines? Are they prebent and ready out of the box? Does anyone have source for diagrams routing the lines for our trucks (Its been so long since I've had it apart, would be nice to have a reference again.

Thanks.

I pushased some pre-bent stainless steele lines from LMC about a year or so ago.They were right on the money as far as fitment.I sold the truck 4 months ago.I don't have pics,but once you lay it out its a pretty easy install.

Making my own using the jegs flair kit and 1/4" and 3/16" rolls of lines - all from jegs. It is a bit cheaper and a good learning experience, plus I have the tools for any other I need to do, but it is a pain in the butt for sure. It's what I had to do though since the old pathways put them right on the header and it is turning out pretty good! Now that I finally have the hang of it though, I am done - lol...

Did you use SS and if so was it hard to flare? Rolling your own lines is really super cheap, and not that hard. I did the lines on my grand marquis last summer and bent them all by hand. My flaring tool sucked, but it got the job done. I re-used all the fittings, they rarely go bad unless you crack them or round them out.

I just used this since it included the 3/16" line and the kit:

And this 1/4" line/fittings for the rest.

it is just galvanized zinc, but it bends pretty easy, flares no problem, and will last for years until I get eager to do a full frame off resto...With 40 year old fittings and brake lines, everything was rounding off even with flare wrenches and a penetrating lube - better to just redo it all...

Great Products to. We sell them as well

But you can bend your own

Brakquip sells annealed s/stl tubing which is easier to bend and flare than normal stainless tubing plus all the stainless fittings.
They also offer the easybend tubing kits that never rust. It exceeds DOT standards used on a lot of European cars. I like bending my own.

Of course we sell all tubing in bulk lengths and fittings to but you can find a Brakquip dealer in most all major cities
