brake lines

Well when i replaced the master cylinder on my car and drove it the next day it was leaking brake fluid badly im guessing the new pressure of the master cylinder burst one of the brake lines. Is there any after market kits that replace every brake line for my firebird?

Fine Lines (finelinesinc.com) sells pre bent lines at a pretty reasonable price. I just got a set of rear lines in for my car, they look good. Will be installing this weekend.

There are many shops in the U.S. that sell pre-bent lines for both the brakes and the fuel. They are sold in the factory steel, or stainless. Just google it under "brake lines"

I was going to go that route, but with the exchange, brokerage fees and shipping to Canada it would have cost me about $300. It is quite reasonable if you are there in the U.S. and local. Most shops that I spoke with will require some lag time, as there lines are generally not an off the shelf item.

I ended up just buying a roll of tubing for each of the different lines (gas / brake) and bending them myself. This route was cheaper and I have to say fun! I removed the existing lines and just simply made the new ones to match the contours.

If you call up fine lines, tell them what you need and they will take care of you
