I suspect 5/16, 3/8, or 3/16 will be the sizes you have. Buy a 25ft roll from your parts store and make your own. Unroll and at the same time "walk it down".
If your careful, you can take off your old lines and duplicate them yourself. They are very forgiving if you can't bend them exactly like the originals.
Buying rolls will require you to flare the ends. Brake lines in particular will need to be DOUIBLE flared which sometimes isn't easy. I cut and shaped my lines and then had a friend at a local hot rod shop use his nice flaring tool and double flare my few ends......heck, he wouldn't even take a few bucks for doing it. If you don't have a friend that can do this find one who can and save yourself some money for other things.
...or you can buy brake lines at the local store as they come in different lengths. Just figure how much you need and buy them and fit them together. I've done this many times without any problem.
Don't give the vendors your hard earned money when YOU CAN DO IT yourself and probably do as good of a job as some of the stuff we get from "vendors". Go for it. | | |
