| Post subject: | Brake line kit question |
Hi Folks, I am going through my brakes for my car and have found this flexible brake line kit on ebay and I am wondering if anyone has used this before and what their experience or comments may be on them. Also any caveats to look out for. Thanks John http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brake-line-kit- ... 30&vxp=mtr |

Buying bulk line from NAPA and making your own would probably be cheaper. Especially if somebody thinks they need them more then you and bids the price up. |

Thanks, Ive been checking them and the one up for bid is only a buck and a half more. I did the bulk brake line upgrade on my other car and bending to get into the tight places while on my back under the car was a real pain so I thought this might be a better way (read that easier for my old body!) than bending the bulk stuff. Thanks again! |

I have never used that kit but the price sure is attractive. Worst case scenario, I have a tubing bender and a double flare tool you could borrow to make up your own lines. But $53 sure sounds better than hours of futzing around with a tubing bender and flare tool on your back! |

Skip steel line entirely. Read this entire thread. |

I don't think that kit is steel line. Title just says metal. Description says Quote: These maliable lines are easy to bend or coil without collapsing the tubing or restricting the flow of brake fluid.
And pic a bit below that shows it being bent by hand.

Thanks for the info guys. I surely like the idea of a long lasting and easily bendable line. Especially when it comes to buying more expensive one use tools. By the way the listings I find online show the other suggested lines as being Nickel Copper alloy so no steel but they support the high pressures ratings. Cheers. |
