I need to replace some lines, and I'm too lazy to try and bend them myself, plus I failed Geometry. Any prebent kits or individual lines available from any of the parts houses or brake specialty shops? Thanks.

I went with Jeff's stainless brakelines also. Everything fit nicely with only minor tweaking.

I just ordered a set from Jeffs and they let me swap the stock 71 master cylinder lines for 77 power brake M/C lines ( longer ). All years are not the same and all of the places I checked prices were close.

Indian Harbour Bch,
I bent my own lines with no prior experience. I bent the front axles stuff in less than an hour. It's really not hard. Ya just have to look at it. I went a bought a tubing bender, but it was crap. I just gently used plyers and blocks of wood. Its so so much cheaper if you just by various lengths..
just my two cents

line fittings

The stainless lines I'm familiar with do not have stainless end fittings. They are just zinc plated, carbon steel. Most line replacement results from end fittings rusted tight into wheel cylinders. Can someone with first-hand experience confirm if lines with stainless end fittings are available?

I bought and installed lines from Jeff;s. They worked out well. You will need to specify whether disk or drums in front (fittings are different).

just use alittle anti-sieze on the threads. I dont think the zink plated fittings will rust as quick as the stock ones.
