They carry them. I just bought a set for my car (disk/drum), and only used the fronts, because I have a 9os rear end in the car. So I had to buy 2 sets and only use half of each. I still have the rear one left over if you want it.

Here's a pic of the one line, with the part # of this set.

RB is that one in the pic the one that replaces the ruber line where the hard lines go into? and thats for an 82-83 flare set up? if so how much?

so does the kit include just the 2 brake lines to do the front hoses?

EDIT: never mind i was on spohn site and the lines (all 3) are $69.95, then i looked at the Powerstop crossdrilled rotors for $159 i think it was, and i already have a set of new Hawks pads, so i think this might be a nice upgrade with this coming paycheck, and it will give me a good excuse to install my Hurst linelock.

I asked a while back about the lines for my 82 and here's what I got back from Steve. Haven't checked the website lately to see if he's put this extra info in.

The 82-83 cars used a different fitting, Earl's doesn't make a kit for them. However, I have adapters that will adapt the Earl's to your 82 threads. It would be $10.00 more for this set up. Just specify that you have an 82 and need the adapters when you order. Thanks.

Steve

well on Steve's site it has a "New" sign by them and it doesnt look like anything has been adapted and they cost less then all the others.

Just a generic picture he's using it looks like. Going to order up a set when I do my front brakes Dunno when that'll be though.
