I have bought a few sets from Inline Tube and they fit very well. If you want to bend your own, buy the bulk stainless steel tube. I think you need a specialty tube-beeding tool to work with the double flare on a stainless-steel tube (someone who has done this will post better information). | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 14 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2006 Posts: 14 | I bought pre-bent stainless brake lines from Inline tube as well. Perfect fit. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 158 | I bought a fancy hand-hydraulic tube flaring tool, and still couldn't get a flare on stainless line. It's HARD!
