stainless brake lines....why so difficult?

[IanDMacDonald]

I was more than interested in the lines Marty posted about, even though I coulda sworn he said he found 'em elsewhere cheaper But, they were too expensive via Z1 for my taste, and I took a gamble elsewhere.

I bought a made up set of lines from Bremzen. They were all too happy to rip me off. That's another story posted earlier. I ended up sourcing lines and fittings from Z1. They are the Goodridge lines and installation was painless.

Yep, painless (or nearly so). I used them on a few custom installs that needed non-stock lengths and see no reason to go through the hassles that are reported with the 'pre-made, custom-fit' lines. Might cost a few bucks more but it's worth it....

i went through coastgaurd on ebay as well..

the lines where correct for my special. (also got a set for seca through him)

but.... I did have to make the double banjo bolts, the ones supplied where NOT
long enough in my opinion, with the 2 lines and 3 crush washers there were
only a few threads left of the bolts, i just made my own

PITA...
(my fault, i used stainless bolts)

it just takes a drill press to drill out the bolts, but keep in mind that those are
metric fine thread bolts, not all tap sets have those dies.

and if you use stainless bolts, don't bother with cheap tools they will break/irritate you badly, just find the sizes you need and buy the few pieces you need in the good brand.

good luck all.
