MY auto parts store gets it for me but I don't know from wear. The fittings are avaliable at most any parts store. Tee's long and short nuts. all you need is the double flare kit.
www.summitracing.com www.jegs.com has coiled 25' rolls of steel brake lines, comes with a few fittings also.
What ever happened to making your own?
Do we need a "Kit" for everything these days.
I have never used brake line " kits " always buy the length's I need and do it up that way. a brake line fitting kit's just have an assortment of brake line fitting's. the coils of brake line come in handy if your doing a lot of brake line work.Quote:

Never heard of wrapping a straight line around something and coiling it?
You can make a pretty nice job of it withn a little technique.................might even give you a sense of accomplishment.
Sorry, for being a "Do it Yourselfer"
well you could coil brake line that way, but bulk brake line comes in coils, usally 25' but longer are made, the coils are usally fairly large and wrapped fairly loosely. it is aimed at more of a DIY way of fixing, not like buying the pre bent coiled lines used from the master cylinder into the distrobution blocks, which is what I think your thinking of, maby not.
I think it would be difficult to transport 25' lengths of brake line uncoiled.
Sorry...I was thinking of the coil under the MC..............I thought that maybe they were selling a kit for them now...............My mistake.
Hey...maybe, I should start making those and selling them on eBay,,,,,,,,,,could make a fortune..................LOL
You never know whats going to sell on EBAY or for how much.
Ive always got it at napa
Well now I am wondering ,why do they coil the brake line under the master cylinder ,:confused:
to add a little flex to install the lines is what I always thoughtQuote:
