need brake lines

I am looking for the 1/4 in line that feeds the back brakes. I would prefer factory style and not the ones I have to bend. Mine is shot, it was rubbing agianst the body and got a hole in it. I think the rust didn't help.

I don't have alot of money and am trying to do this as cheap as possible. My local yards don't have any 2nd gen cars, so they say. I know of a place online that sells the new lines for $65 or stainless for $90.

Re: need brake lines

Best bet, go to a GM dealer, and order it there. I did that when I broke my fuel line, came out to 80$, but I had it the next day.

Re: need brake lines

I used the Fine Lines Kit. Do yourself a favor. Replace the two rear lines. I broke the front to back line and after replacing it, the rear line broke. Also get a new tee for the rear (parts store about $20) that way it will all be new. I didn't take off all the clamps on the frame. If they looked really rusted I left them and put a rubber hose and tie wrapped them. You don't want to disturb the fuel lines...they are also rusty I'm sure...

Re: need brake lines

Problem is I am limited on the funds I can spend. I'll keep checking the other yards around my area.

I found one that said if you can pull it you can have it. Great for me!
