Thread: Stainless brake/vacuum/fuel lines

  1. #1

    Default Stainless brake/vacuum/fuel lines

    Okay, I remember on the old board there was a page with information about a source for ready-made stainless brake/vacuum/fuel lines. I need to get in touch with these folks ASAP so I can get a set of all ASAP. The lines I have are all rusted up, and rather than chance it, even with the fuel and vacuum lines, I have decided to just be done with it, upgrade, and never have to upgrade again. Anyone have the information about maker and the price list?

    I replaced my brake lines. Went to Auto Zone and got the length I needed and used the old line as a pattern and a tubing bender and bent to fit. Coublr had to be joined. Almost as good as new.

    I used Mike at Classic as well. Addtional point. I hade him duplicate the stock rubber flex lines in braided as well as the fuel flex line that runs from the right frame rail to the engine. So he has patterns for that now as well.

    I just got steel brake lines from vintage power wagon in the mail today. Only took one week to get. They look good, have not tried to install yet.

    If you don't mind my asking, what did VPW charge for those? Complete set of hard lines? Flex lines too, or no? Just curious....

    I gotta say, I felt much the same when I was ready to do mine. A friend showed me what a GOOD quality flaring tool can do.

    My cost breakdown was:
    Flaring kit $100.
    http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg...mId=1611768655

    Material:
    $31.95
    http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
    $27.95
    http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
    2X $25.95
    http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

    Does it cost more? Yep.
    But now I own a GOOD double flaring tool.
    Did I have to wait 6 weeks? Nope.
    And I can now make replacements at will for just about any old jeep.

    Good reference piece for flaring:

    You can do the same with the braided stainless lines. I use the reusable AN fittings and all my brakelines have a single piece I can replace with a trail spare in case of emergency.

    I know brakes are critical, and safety is something I *NEVER* take for lightly, but with proper attention to detail these are things well within the capabilities of the average individual.

    I have the good fortune to have a Harbor Freight tool store just a couple of blocks away, they offer a flaring tool and bender package. The whole setup is less than $50 bucks. I need to completely replace my brake system from soup to nuts and was wondering if I could get by with one of these kits and expect satifactory results? Anybody ever use one of these kits? I know "you get what you payfor but...till I get the tax man paid, every penny counts.

    Remember it takes a double flare. See NAPA or advanced auto for the extra tool parts you can not get from HF.
