Where to buy brake lines?

[Shad0wguy]

I bought a replacement rear end and didn't realize until I got home. It was missing the brake lines that are normally attached to it. It would be too far to go back for the brake lines. Does anyone know if the lines from my original drum rear will work? If not, where can I get the lines aside from a salvage yard?

i know you cant go to the dealer, they only sale 16 foot rolls of steel tubing.you can go to any auto parts store and buy the straight tubing and bend it yourself. locally we have a place that will bend and flare and put the fittings on for you.

brake lines are easy to work with

for another car, i was quoted $1200 to replace the brake lines.. did it myself for about $60, which included the line, bender tool, and the flaring tool

replacing the drums with discs.

So it looks like I need to bend the lines myself. Maybe I can modify the lines from the drum rear instead of making all new.

Does anyone have a good pic of top of a rear end with brake lines in place so I can compare?
