Who makes their own brake lines?? - 01/26/09 07:35 PM
My dad's fixing up his 83 Rampage and the steel brake lines that run from the master cylinder to the rear brakes are shot. Repops are non-existant so he'll have to make some. I've got a summit brand double flaring kit he can borrow but I've never tried it on brakes, highest pressure I've ever done is some lines for an efi fuel system.
Anything special he needs to know before going out and buying his line and fittings and pulling out my tube bender? Do brake lines just use regular steel tubing like the stuff you can buy at Napa? Hopefully they or someone else in town can supply the correct fittings as well. Any tips or tricks to pass along?
