fastzcars Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Go to a NAPA parts store. They usually have them. No body else had them in stock. They are metric 10mm, I replaced all my lines, I removed the old lines and matched the length I needed, then bent them by hand. Wear heavy gloves when you bend them, If you take your time you won't kink them. Good luck. P.S. Also go to Sears and get a good quality set of Flare Nut wrench's . You'll never be able to put enough torque to seal the fitting's with regular wrench's. You'll round them out for sure if you try. Believe me I tried.

VRJoe Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 There have been posts about this before, do a search and you'll find lots of help. NAPA and Pep Boys usually have the pre-made lines. Buy a bending tool and a GOOD double flare tool. With these you can make any line you need. Just remember that the lines are DOUBLE FLARE, a lot of times the counter folks will try to tell you that the meterics are bubble flare. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
