xonix_digital Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I have found one person on ebay selling a whole kit, which would be great, but I dont have the $$ for all of them and there are just a few that I need. I am hoping to be able to buy a select few hardlines pre-bent. I wouldn't mind making them but the tools and supplies are expensive and would rather have them professionally done until i have the space/time to overhaul them all. Anyone know? My searches are coming up empty. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Black Dragon Automotive sells the lengths with flares but i think you have to bend them yourself Edited May 27, 2010 by Steveoen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Classictube.com has fuel lines. Pretty sure they have brakes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogie Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 You can borrow a double flare tool from Autozone and Oreilly's. Tubing cutters are cheap and you can bend line by hand without any real problems. Doing it yourself can be cheap. Unless you are doing the long runs from front to back the tubing is pretty cheap as well. I've got to say it isn't very fun to do.

xonix_digital Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thanks guys. It is difficult to get results for this by a straight up search because everyone has the SS braided brake lines coming up instead. It didn't even occur to me that you might be able to get flared and fitted lengths from Black Dragon or an auto parts store. Its the Bending that makes them unique. Great info. Much appreciated!

zxtoy Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Put a long spring like the ones old storm doors for houses used to have before hydrulic closers over the tube before flaring to bend the tube. If you keep the spring tight it will allow you to bend the tubing without kinking it. then when you are done bending , slide the spring off and flare the ends. It's an old garage trick from the 50's. Who says you can't teach a young dog old tricks! Edited May 29, 2010 by zxtoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huy350Z Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Contact MSA: http://www.thezstore.com They do not show some of the parts online but you can find them in their catalog. I bought a few hard brake lines from them a few years ago. Give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 http://www.newoldstockmotorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_19&products_id=12 New Old Stock Motorsports They also have 3/8" SS pre-bent fuel line, which is really cool, especially if you are running a V8. Stainless is good for just about any kind of fuel. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cbudvet Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Beware of New Old Stock Motorsports!!!! I recently purchased the stainless steel brake line kit for my 240z on ebay and I have nothing to show for it. On 5/09/2010 I paid immediately for the auction and have heard nothing from them. I have emailed them at least a dozen times and they have never replied. I have finally filed a claim with paypal and hopefully will get my money back. I don't understand how hard it is for them to send a reply. I really wish I could work it out with them but it doesn't look like it. If you have the money, Classic Tube is an option. They have both stainless and original tubing for brake lines, fuel lines and clutch. The only problem is the expense. Thats why I tried ebay. carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
