rear brake lines
Hey all,
Just put a posi in my car yesterday, went by pretty well. After bolting everything back together i went to bleed the brakes, but my one line on the rear from that junction box to the passenger side brake has a pin hole and leaks ever so slightly, question is can i get hard line from a dealer or are their after markets pre-bent ready to put on. I would like to stay away from bending my own line but if it has to come down to that i will.
Thanks
-Zach

Re: rear brake lines
Almost positive your going to have to just get a straight piece. The line should be almost a straight shot from the Tee to the brake, not any significant bends. Just meausre how long it is and get the piece of line that is the closest in length without being too short.

Re: rear brake lines
Normal parts store you just have to get a straight piece and bend it. I went with some stainless ones from http://www.finelinesinc.com/ that were already pre bent. A lot more pricey than straight brake line, but still not too bad.
