188.00 ??

wow i must be real cheap...lol

or just dumb and dont add up what i spend?

i just buy 60" lengths of 3/16 brake line at the auto parts store, and steel -3 bulkheads/fittings from jegs or summit.

wonder what i have spent,. but if that kit comes with -3 braided lines for the caliper/wheel cyl flex lines then i guess its a good deal??

I buy the lengths of brake line from speedwaymotors.com and roll my own. Very reasonable!

I do splurge on the braided kits for the Wilwood calipers, though.

Cheaper to buy a 25 foot roll and make the lines.They used to sell an easy bend line.All you have to do is flare them and install,Ive done so many at work and on my car its unreal.Using 60 inch lengths and fittings looks funky on an old car.Besides that its cheaper to buy a roll and some fittings and make a one piece.Rocky

25 foot rolls and pre-made braided from Speed Way. That way there are no unions. Check their cataloge. Many different lengths and ends, cheap.

Dont use braid for the entire brake system... it'll

I guess I should have stated the 25 ft are 3/16" steel, flex at axle and caliper only.

Keep the flex line as short as possible, make sure to use Teflon lined hoses only on brakes
