New R.Brake Line?!
Where can I find a new factory formed driver's side brake line?
No more talk about making your own brake lines, I just want to buy it factory now.

You could always call and ask, you know. That's what the phone number at the top of the page is for. And besides, you didn't give us any information on your setup (front or rear lines? disc or drum? 1LE or standard brakes?).
If I remember correctly, the Borg-Warner axle is a 10-bolt.

I bought two non-formed brake lines from the local shop, one had damaged threads and they thought I did it so I had to buy a new one. I got the other, only to find out they're the wrong threads. I don't have a lot of money anymore to buy anything I want. I didn't want to spend 30 bucks on the one line I need, but I already wasted $10 on bad lines and more money on the line-bending tool.
It's Drum in the back, I only need one line(driver's side, rear brake line, goes from the wheel cylinder to the 3-way intersection) because the previous one got pinched so I have to replace it. What should I do? and what does an HD axle mean?

Forget all of that, I finally made the brake line and installed it. It's not 100% perfect, I probably stripped some threading inside that 3-way valve, but I figure, how many times is someone going to replace brake lines in a car's lifetime? The next time they do, they just have to buy a that whole set, which IF the car is cared for, then Never!
Everything should work great since the flared end is sealed tightly against the 3-way valve.
