    So I removed my rear end and the rear brake lines were pretty much shot :Dou:

    Anybody know if someone makes a pre-bent set or am I going to have to get creative?

    I can't help you with a source, but stay with a kit if at all possible...double flaring small diameter stainless can be a real pain in the rear, especially if the tubing is "as-welded" (unannealed). I wouln't even consider single flaring for any brake application.

    Try classic tube or in-line tube. I believe summit is a dealer for both, but each have their own site. I've bought a couple of lines from classic tube. Superb quality in terms of fitment and finish. I redid all the lines on my Buick with stainless. I bought 25 foot rolls of 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8s. I bought 2 rolls of 3/8s. I ran 3/8" feed and return lines for fuel. I had about 125 bucks total including fittings, and fastners and mounts. I used a double flare kit and had no problems flaring any size. I will say, bending 3/8" was very difficult. But it is done, and I'll never have to mess with it again. its clean, and there is no unions, or any chance for leaks. It was tough, but worth it.:3gears:

    I had to replace my brake lines when I first got my Skylark running. I bought my brake lines from Inline tube. They cut and flared at a specified length for me at no extra charge. I also got my fuel lines from them.
