Cunifer brake line

[spacecadetz26]

I work in a repair shop and we use EZ-Bend brake line that Napa sells to repair all brake lines. you dont need a pipe bender to work with it as it bends and forms easily by hand which is awesome if you have ever tried to bend your own lines. We buy it by the 50ft rolls since we do alot of box trucks and stuff, it costs about $80 for that 50ft roll. The best part is it doesnt rust and its the last time you will have to worry about replacing your brake lines. they are also easier to flare than regular steel lines.

Cool. This is useful info! I'm losing fluid somewhere and need to replace the lines anyway.

I don't see this said $50ft roll on the link you provided... I'm guessing that may be only available to corporate accounts.

I sell the AGS brand stuff at work, it's great for first timers and for any tight spaces. In fact it's great for anyone, but it is more expensive.

I've done that 2 years ago for the rear lines, all the way from the front to the back. Great material...

Awesome! Thanks Steph!

I definitely need some of this!!

I was just about to go buy a bending/flare set and a bunch of generic line.

I don't mind spending a little more for line, If I can save myself some frustration.

All this brake line talk, Where is the best place to get a bubble flare tool, and a 37* flare tool? I've been using my 45* double flare to do the 37* AN fittings on the race car but I've just been flaring them once and not doing the double, this allows you to tighten it down and it will conform to the AN end rather than dimpling it and destroying it... but I'd like to have both the bubble flare tool for the retta, and a 37* flare tool for the race car, and for any AN flares I would ever need for the retta.

[spacecadetz26]

one of my mechanics just ordered a kit from napa is was like $350 that does every fitting imaginable even the quick connect style.

If you could get me the info on that I may be interested. $350 to cover everything might be worth it.
