Brake Line Source

Anyone have a good source for brake lines? The line running from my MasterCylinder to my proportioning valve (primary) is leaking (manual brakes) and I want to replace it. I can only seem to fine it at inlinetube, but I have to buy a full kit.

If you don't want a full kit, a brake shop should be able to bend if for you if you bring in the original. A friendly shop will let you walk out the door and do it yourself.

Thanks for that suggestion. I guess I just assumed shops don't do that kind of stuff anymore.

I bought fuel and brake lines from Inline Tube. I just found it easier and didn't want unnecessary unions.

That's probably what I'll end up doing. Tried to re-flare the line, but a cheap flaring set means lop-sided flares that leak.

The double flare for brakes requires a good set of tools for sure.
