 Pre bent brake lines available? | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 144 member | OP  member Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 144 | Working on a 82 chevy shortie panel van and found out I need to replace a couple of brake lines. Was wondering if any one knows of a company that makes them for these vans? Did a quick search on google but could not find any.
Any info is most appreciated.
Thanks

All you need a tubing bender, a high pressure line making tool (double flaring tool) and some brake line and fittings. The tools will run you under $100 and they are good to have.

I've used them quite a few times and they make really nice stuff. Stainless too! | | | Re: Pre bent brake lines available? | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,286 | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,286 | Wouldn't some pre-bent lines be really expensive to ship? They can be cumbersome to pack. I would bend my own if I couldn't get it to a shop. I guess it won't hurt to get a price...with shipping. | | | Re: Pre bent brake lines available? | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | | Madman!

I got a complete stainless steel set for a Dodge Dakota for $120 shipped. This was about a year ago. | | |
