Best place to buy steel brake lines?

Where is the best place to buy prebent lines for our trucks? Jc whitney has a kit for $177.00. Has anybody used them? If so is the quality good? Thanks guys.

I found this site on the web. Looks like a good vendor using CNC to make the line per original drawings. http://www.inlinetube.com/

inline tube is good// check the vendors on the board alot carry them and some will sell for slightly less money than if buying directly from the manufacturer

Besides brake tubing, they also sell e-brake cables and "abuncha" other stuff.

40 bucks worth of tools and 20 bucks worth of line, is your best bet, one of the most fun jobs is bending lines the way you want them.

Does the repop stuff have the wire wound around it like the factory ones did?

Another vote for Inline Tube. Can't speak for everyone, but my time is worth more than it cost to buy them pre-bent.
