I called MP Brakes to see if a different line was available...they could have cared less about my problem...I explained I was fully expecting to pay..They Flat didnt give a rats a$$... I wish I would have seen this side of them before....they sure didnt mind taking my $600.00....The line was kinda small so I had One shot to switch the fittings..I cut and flared the first one ok but blew the flare on the second one...the radius was to small for me to duplicate.
I saw on Inline Tubes website that they did custom duplication,so I gave them a call...I spoke with Chuck who gave me instruction as to sending it to them...He called when he recieved it and after deciding what materials I wanted,informed me it would be $10.00....plus $5.00 more to ship it...This was on wednesday..I recieved it friday...it was a perfect fit....They have helped me out before on some fittings I couldnt find elsewhere.....Their customer service is over the top...I reccomend them highly.......dave

I've purchase a number of products from them (disc brake and power steering kits) and they are pretty good. The owners are knowledgable and will talk to you and help you as well. Appreciate the tip re Inline Tube. Best of luck with your projects. | | |
