Lines?

[McMurray76]

I need to replace every brake and fuel line on my 77 k25. Where do you guys suggest picking them up? S

I bend my own with parts store straight lines and couplings. Cheapest way to do it, just takes more time and effort.

I just started using nickel/copper line. It's easier to flare and bend and is very corrosion resistant. I see on Amazon I can get a 25" roll for around $40. You have to do your own flaring to save money. If you don't flare your own it will cost at least 3 times as much.

Get a mini tubing bender and go at it.

Everything I've read about brake lines says don't use copper tubing.

Thanks for the info guys!

Correct, never use copper on vehicles as it fatigues easier from vibration.

Right, nickel copper is what comes on some high end European cars. It doesn't cost that much more than regular coated steel brake line.

Yep, nickel/copper is different than just plain copper.
