    Hey Tom,

    Yes, they got my vote as well. Did you know you could get custom colors as well?!

      Rock on TC! I looked over all the colors but I couldn't decide. This will likely be the year that the Falcon gets paint and the color is up in the air. I'd hate to get lines that clash. One thing that I noticed is that HEL uses colored stainless fittings rather than anodized aluminum. I like what they have to say regarding the reasons why. Lifetime warranty, less than $50 ea., how can you go wrong?

        I went thru a dealer in Arkansas,

        Ordered custom sizes and got then for a lot less than ordering directly from HEL. Each line (I ordered 3) was $37.00 (for lines under 50”) and drop shipping was $15.00 for a total of $126 compared to $147.00 directly from HEL, without shipping. Also any color combination with no price change!

          What about the rear. I bought the HEL lines also, but the rear came as one piece. Can I run a single line and leave the metal tube off?

            That's what I did. Took off the steel tube and ran the new line through clamps that went on the same mounting points for the old steel line.

              Hey Gene,

              I editted my photo links since I dumped Photodump, you can see what Justincase is talking about, removed the metal line and used the clamps to route the new SS lines thru to hold in place away from the wheel!
