I need to replace all of the rear hard steel brake lines. My local autoparts store doesn't sell lenghts that are anywhere close to accurate, and I haven't found anyone in town who can do the double flare. Any ideas?

Do a search on eBay for "18 piece brake line kit for BMW, WV, Porsche, Mercedes". There is an oufit selling an entire set for about $30. Might be more than you need, but they look like the right type.

I had no problem doing the RS with lines from two different local stores.

They don't have to be exact replacement lengths, just close.

Your FLAPS sells the bubble flare tool. You may have to push the high school kid along and coach him on how to look it up but they will have a listing. They may have to order it for you though. I made these lines.

check with porsche dealer. I boogered the pass rear hard line. I ordered it from Porsche - got it a week later all pre-bent. dropped right in - no fuss, no muss.

Thanks, I'll start trying those options.

That's funny! The place has always been dumpy looking. But they have a good machinist, and a ton of parts thrown everywhere. I sometimes wonder how they find anything.

Yeah, I think that's who Chris was referring to on ebay. They kept trying to sell me the 19 piece kit. I said I don't need 19 pcs.! They finally agreed to sell just the ones I needed.
