Default Brake line question

I want to get a full set of SS brake lines. Who has the best quality and price?

Also how much of a PITA is it going to be to replace the line that feeds the rear with the body still on? Any tips?

:cheers:

I got mine from Eckler's, I don't nkow who makes them though. I was very easy to install them with the body still off. Hopefully it's not too bad with body on... :)

All of our SS brake lines come from Stainless Steel Brakes. They're out of Miami or New York. I don't know if they sell direct though.

I might be able to answer when the weather gets warmer. I plan on replacing the lines with SS too. I bought a set made by "FIne Lines" at Carlisle 2 years ago. I used the rear lines already and the crossover didn't fit as well as expected but I got it installed ok. I have everything out of the engine bay now and will try to fish it back with the extra room in the eng bay. Some guys have spliced them using flared brake line unions but I don't want to do that. if you get it installed let us know how you did it.
