Have you made your own steel brake lines? I broke one yesterday working on the hell-hole (the long one for the passenger rear). I did some research and it looks fairly straightforward, just need to buy the proper tools and practice.
But before I do, or PM bdstone914 for spare parts, I thought I'd query the local brain trust. Thanks, Nate |

I'm a big proponent of Cunifer lines and fittings from FedHill Cunifer brake line. The stuff is virtually impossible to kink, and it won't rust. I also bought the fittings from FedHill, and used a standard Crafstman double-flare system that I bought for ~$50; with that flaring tool, you perform the first flare and then don't perform the second/double flare. Thanks to McMark for that tip...
See post #177 of Suby-Engined Rustoration for details. Now I just gotta close on my new house (in June!) here in SLO, get my project out of storage, and get it running! Geoff |
