Default Finally found a source for brake lines!

Hey guys, thought this info might help others out. I am working on a 84 vette and wanted to replace all the brake lines, but have been unable to find a source ( even straight tubing).

Classic tube (http://www.classictube.com/) has the entire hardline kit, in stainless steel, for $225. The only downside is that the leadtime is a month.

I've look a long time for lines, and this is the only place I've found with all of them.

I just ordered a set, part number CV1031 along with the clutch line #CVH1002 for my '86 Monday. We'll see what we get.

Hey guys, I installed the lines. They fit great! The stainless looks so nice against the black chassis paint.

Hey Ray, How does the clutch line look? Does it replace the factory rubber/steel one properly? All of us 4+3 manual tranny guys are interested.
