Pre bent Stainless stell brake lines
In the market for a stainless steel brake line kit. As I live on the Gulf Coast and plastic rusts down here, I figure stainless is the way to go.
I'm running a '84 Suburban front crossmember (HD Brake rotors) and the '84 rear diff (drum brakes) as well. Looking for a pre-bent kit, complete with hoses. Any suggestions? Or do I just need to by a hydraulic flare tool and straight lengths of tube. |

Re: Pre bent Stainless stell brake lines
NiCopp (nickel-copper-steel) tubing works great, is easy to bend and flare, makes a good seal, and is rust resistant. Just made some lines for my 60 GMC.
Much easier to use than steel tubing. It's available in straight lengths or rolls. Got mine at Advance Auto Parts. |

Another vote for NiCopp.

Re: Pre bent Stainless stell brake lines
I bought a set of SS pre-bents for my '66. It turns out I have '72 cross member / rear axle. Just different enough that I ended up with 3 sets to make 1, and had to custom bend the lines from the M/C down anyway...I'll give the company I bought them from credit, they were patient and took back what I didn't need.
All that to say if you have mixed parts it is not likely you will be able to find a set that fits without a lot of work... |
