I'm starting to bend the new brake llines in place. I got these coated lines from the local parts place. They work great when it comes to bending. I would think they'd kink and split, but they are incredibly easy to route and bend. 90 degree bends are no problem! The guys at the store swear by them. They also come in lots of size combinations, so hopefully it will look pretty clean after I'm done.
I looked into a brake line kit to fab my own, but it's pretty pricy, and this won't be a show truck, and least not in it's first debut to open road life after being a parked project for a decade!
