Rear brake line
I ordered a set of SS brake lines from Inline tube. They fit really good except the large one that goes to axle soft line, it was about 8" too short. Inline found that they don't have a pattern for that one on a burb and should send mine in.
 I can picture myself without a line all summer and wondered if a truck with coils is the same bend/length? I'd rather avoid using a union to make up the difference until the replacement shows.

Re: Rear brake line
Why am I not surprised to read this about inline toob.
They certainly do good work, but their sales and shipping sucks balls.

Re: Rear brake line
If you sent in your original for a pattern you could make up a temporary steel line until you got the new SS one back from inline. It would be great as other future Burb owners wouldn't run into the same problem.

Re: Rear brake line
I wanted to avoid the patch and there sure are a lot of clamps on that line. Oh well i guess when you have such a rare vehicle that's the price.
 The truck was never messed with and the lines are still good so it will make a good pattern. If I messed up like that I know I would be giving my UPS # for return..... Arrggh.

Re: Rear brake line
I got a full set from them about 10 years ago for my '72 and they fit perfectly. The only thing that pissed me off is that the fittings are definitely not stainless.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lines for the burb are identical to the LWB pickup, right? |

Re: Rear brake line
I thought the exact same thing about the fittings. The fittings were the only negative about the kit, it fit really good. The line kit i put on the 56 looks great except for the corroding nuts. The line should be the same as the LWB, i was hoping somebody had experience with it before i request it.

Re: Rear brake line

Re: Rear brake line
Thanks for that Vectorit. I'll send mine in if the rain ever stops for more than a day.
