Angry Brake lines!

Who is everyone using for replacement steel brake lines. I purchased some from right stuff detailing, should be call all wrong stuff. Front steel lines will not seal at all. New proportiong valve also, replaced everything no luck. 3 months down for a brake line leak.

Re: Brake lines!

I bought lines, double flare tool, and a bender for under 100 bucks and made my own on my old '86 and made several parts of lines for the '76 and the '74. Took a couple of hours max.

Re: Brake lines!

I have used Inline Tube as well as the Right Stuff. Both worked great. On my Nova project I bought a flaring tool and bender from NAPA and did the entire job without a leak. Once you learn to do a double flare correctly, it's a breeze.
