Pre-bent brake Lines??

Anyone know where I can purchase brake lines already pre-bent/flaired. I have to do some work and thought that if they are not that much more expensive it might be worth it (since I have to purchase the tools to do it too), any ideas???

I usually get my brake lines from the smaller part dealers. One near me is Jon's autoparts. That's where I got mine.

They're cheap, fairly flexible and pre-flaired. You could go with the CT ones even if you knew exatcly what you wanted in size as they also have preflaired lines too with fittings.

It depends also just how far you want to go on replacing lines too though. Replacing all your lines will cost and will be a pita job to do, but buying them prebent is a waste really...

Let me guess... you got a posi rear end with higher ratio gears?

You cant buy pre-bent brake lines(not that I know of)..You can however get custom ones made up if you go to Cisco(not the computer company).Cisco makes any kind of tubing/piping for anything..lol I sound like an ad

We stock braided stainless lines, and all the adapters you need to hook them up...come in different lengths, 90's or straight ends, most people use 3AN some use 4......as for pre-bent lines, look in the back of a rodding mag.....usually some in there, dont have one handy but I'm pretty sure there someone that advertises in GM High Tech.......not positive if they do third gens though........

Cisco MAKES them to any spec you want,they even carry Aeroquip stuff..Tell them what fluid at what pressure and theyll sell/make it for you..GM doesnt sell brake lines(except for the flex hose)..last time I checked..

FYI they sell quick release,"u-jointed" fittings too
Theyre at Dixie and 401..
