Pre-bent brake lines???

Anybody know where I can get a pre-bent brake line kit for a 66 CJ5?? I could do it myself,,,,, but bending, cutting, flaring,,, would just like to have a kit to install.

thanks guys

 

Classic tube offers one. They don't have a listing for '66 but do for a '70. $179.

Never used their stuff but heard both ways on their stuff. I imagine there might be some tweaking to any kit you get. Keep in mind if you have discs, larger drums, etc. things may be a little different also.

 

JcWhitney...same as above though...had to fabricate some of them, especially up by the master cylinder, otherwise they worked great!

 

Inline Tube is another possibility: http://www.inlinetube.com/Preformed Lines/Web Line Listings/JP-CAT-01.htm

 

I will add this... I did all my own brake and fuel lines myself which included flairing, bending routing etc. I consider myself average mechanically speaking and found it rewarding to do myself. Any time you buy a pre made kit you can always expect to have to modify it. So why not just start fresh and save the money? Just my .002

 

Ditto.

Once I got a double-flaring tool, a roll of tubing and a bag of fittings, I lost my life-long fear of brake repairs. Should have done it years ago.

(A simple tube bender is nice too, for the tight curves.)

 

I used a pre-made kit and, like others have said, I had to tweak some of the pieces. I was po'd that I spent that money and had to tweak stuff. I like using the straight lines that already have both ends flared and have fittings. I know I end up cutting one end usually, for the proper fit but, I think it just makes one less possible failure point with a "factory" flare on one end. I find it difficult to straighten the line that comes in a roll, especially for the long run to the rear. I like straight, clean lines. Good quality benders and double flaring tools help the project be a lot less frustrating, also.

 

I got the stainless ones from them. They fit perfectly. x2 for using these guys.

 

You can always bend your own lines and take them to a brake shop and have them flare them
