    Who is good a making Brake lines?

    So I removed my ABS, I need some custom Brake lines made from my master cylinder to the front brakes and down to go back for the rear brakes. Its a total of maybe 12 feet all together but I need flared ends with Fittings to fit into the master. Someone that has done this a few times would be nice. Let me know!

    I have done lines many times in the past when i worked at a couple shops, I don't personally have the tools (flare tool) but if you have them I can definately bend you up some lines if you get the line and the tool.

    and please don't use the fitting to flare the lines... use the tool as the flares are a double flare not just a single flare

    Jesse, you cant rent the flaring tool from auto parts stores.. Practice a few times on some scrap tubing and its pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it. Brake line is super cheap so if you mess up it dont cost you and you can take your time with it, or I would recomend talking to H+W and see if they have time to sneak it in

    I talked to Eddy B, I think me and him are going to tackle it one of these weekends, i was going to do all Braded -3 line but this might even look better and be much cheaper.

    Like someone said you have to double flare them. I made that mistake once by single flaring them. I had to relocate my ABS block when I did my swap, and I wouldn't say it was the hardest part of the swap, but it was certainly a pain in the ass. Plan on your fingers being sore if you've got a few to do.

    Nah do I got me some racheting open ended wrenches and line swivels they work wonders on brake lines. I even went all out and got me some of those brake line bending pliers. I am thinking of selling my bubble flaring tool to buy an all in one kit (it does fuel line too)

    Buy mine it's 148 new( (Josh should know the actual amount). Snap On then I have a brand new (just got it warrantied) craftsman standard and double flaring tool. If I don't get the right amount of money the get retired into my home set.
