Re: New lines Fuel and hard Brake lines for my stepside
The guys below sell pre-bent lines and sets of lines. I've seen both companies products in use and they are beautifully made. I usually bend and flare my own because I can't justify the $ cause I have the high $ tooling.

I bought new trans cooler lines from LMC and they look very nice, I was very pleased with the quality. I plan on buying more lines from them as well.

Re: New lines Fuel and hard Brake lines for my stepside
I bought straight lines, and used the old ones for a template and got it right on the first try. not that hard, just be patient and check and double check your bends. I bet you can do it this way for less than 25% of the cost of pre-bent lines

Re: New lines Fuel and hard Brake lines for my stepside
except for some weird/short brake line
i always buy the rolls for gas and tranny have my own flare kit,and bend it around what ever works too costly the prebent lines and if your lifting or lowering the prebents may not work for you

Re: New lines Fuel and hard Brake lines for my stepside
I just bought the LMC front kit because I couldn't find the coil bent lines that come off the master cylinder anywhere. I think thats what they are called. Anyway they leaked like crazy and I ended up cutting the flare off and redoing them myself. Pretty aggravating to spend over $150 for brake lines then they leak like that

Re: New lines Fuel and hard Brake lines for my stepside
I recently made all new lines for my 50 Chevy sitting on an S-10 chassis. Anyway, borrowed a Snap-On hydraulic flaring tool from a friend, that thing should have it's own national holiday! Awesome tool.

they are for stress and flex so no harm if not the same size around as before
