I bought a universal brake line kit a while back that had 25 feet of tubing and a bunch of fittings in it. It had enough fittings to redo Ryans' whole Swinger. It was about $40 bucks or so. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I can find tubing but not a kit with the fittings. If anyone knows what I'm looking for let me know.

I don't want pre-bent because I am re-routing quite a bit of the tubing.

Thanks,
Rick

This is a fitting kit from Summit - has 10 of the common 3/8-24 inverted flare fittings for 3/16" tube, then the bigger fittings for 3/16" tube for master cylinder hookup.

Classictube, inlinetube, rightstuffdetailing - Those places probably have all in one kits but they are expensive - you most likely can buy that fitting kit and a length of tube from summit including the $12 handling for less.

Dan, I wish I would have known about Cunifer when I was doing my brake lines. I bought the "prebent" junk from Inline, and it has never fit come quite "prebent" enough. The lengths have been wrong (dart vs valiant wheelbase difference?), and various other problems.

I just sat down and looked through the site, good variety. I like how easily that guy bent the tubing with his hand. Not cheap though. Nice link Dan.

Those pre-bent deals are only as good as the originals they received to duplicate.

Their flaring tool looks neat. I always wanted to try one of the hydraulic ones as well.

Thanks Dan & Pierre,

That will do it! What's funny I was doing a search on Summit myself and could not find what I was looking for.

Appreciate the help,
Rick
