Its time to replace brake lines on my older trucks (and fuel lines too.) Anyone know of or used a source for pre bent stainless steel lines ?





Thanks, Terry

Never heard of pre-bent ones. It has always been bend to fit but I found this link with a quick search on google.

I just replaced all the brake line on my 91 Safari van, that dam northern road salt and calcium chloride that Penn DOT uses on the roads really takes its toll on the brake lines, we were lucky though because they decided to let loose while we were backing out of the driveway, your most likely going to find it easer to just replace everything from front to back, because if your state uses road salt you will most likely find all the lines are rusting and have a scale on them, if so you might as well forget about using regular wrenches and break out the torch and your best vice grips and a can of PB Blaster, one other thing, I found it was easer to use the braided stainless steel lines going to the wheels instead of messing around bending the short lines to fit.
