I didn't want to spend $30 plus for a front caliper line so I bot a straight line with fittings at autozone for $5 and want to bend it myself. I don;t want to buy a tool since I really won't have a lot of use for it after this.
It's the S shaped line in the early brakes. Two opposite 90 degree bends. |

I know that you've already bought the pre-flared/nutted piece, but to all that plan to replace a bunch of line(s), I can't speak highly enough of the Cunifer line available from FedHill. This stuff is almost impossible to kink, it won't rust and it looks great. All of the high-end Euro car manufacturers apparently use it or stuff like it, too. Of course, you'll need to obtain a high quality tubing double flare kit... so it goes against all of my CSOB tendencies, but why pinch too tightly when you're talking about brakes?
PS -- I just learned how to post a link (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My 14-y.o. daughter would be proud of me! |
