This is just a 24 inch (as I recall) brake line. You can buy them premade at any auto parts store. Then bend them to suit. This is one item I would even buy at the chains.

I wanted a stainless line again, that's why I ordered a pre-bent replacement.

Inline Tube -- one of my favorite suppliers

They have the factory patterns in their computer, can do brake or fuel lines in mild steel or stainless. Excellent customer service, and prices are reasonable.

I have two stainless lines that I will not be using. PM me if interested.
I also have the line that connects the two across the rear crossmember. I bought them as a complete kit when I was redoing my frame off but the PO had already changed the rear lines so I have them left over.

thanks. do you think the stainless lines are worth the extra price? the factory steel ones held up for almost 30 years just fine. . . . until i rounded the nut off getting the line loose. lol.

My 77s lines rusted on the inside and clogged the rear calipers about eight years ago, and the car was being regularly driven and maintained. I like stainless, because I hate corrosion.
