Bulk Brake lines and Fuel Lines
 

Ok so I just priced out new brake lines and fuels from a couple of different suppliers and all I can say is WOW. Over $300.00 for OEM lines. Anyone know where I can buy bulk lines and fittings?? I looked on Summit and Jegs and they have some but would like to buy from site suppoters.

Add up all the fittings and the amount of line you'll need - and I'm betting the $300 is just about break even.... and the amount of work you'll have to do to make your own is far more than you'll have bargained for.

Greg the time to fab is not the problem, but I can make them fit much better than the OEM stuff, but I did some more checking and you are not far off on what it would cost to buy the needed fittings and tube. So it's just a driver so I guess I may just buy the pre bent stuff.

What about "inline tube" or one of the other manufacturers? Would they have something better looking - and or SS etc?

BTW -- I wasn't implying that you didn't have the talent to do the work - my statement was more about the COST... i.e., your time to bend and fit and terminate tubing etc would be much more than the prebent OEM stuff. I should have/could have elaborated my statement better.

I didn't take it that you where saying that I couldn't do it :thumbsup: I know what you are saying about time and COST. I checked inline tubes web site, they seem to have a more complete kit. I will call a few companys today and see what I can come up with. thanks for the imput.

Rick,

Give me a buzz. I've got tube and fittings. I'm still getting rid of what's left of my inventory for the fittings and adapters. I stock the tubing as well.

Give me a ring and I'll see if I can help. There's pros and cons to buying pre bent versus doing it yourself.

BentFAB, Greg or anyone else......

Have you ever used BrakeQuip's Ezibend tube? Any Cons?

That stuff is 90/10 Copper/Nickel alloy brake line tubing, It is sold under various brand names like "Cunifer", etc.

I just posted a question about this stuff in the brake section. Any thoughts on this material from anyone? Don't want to Hi Jack this thread. If you have opinions, please post in the thread I started in the Brake section. Thanks! :lateral:

I think that you will find that it's price is often on a par with stainless, so, you would have to weigh which set of benefits are more important to you; The easy bending characteristics of the Cu/Ni alloy stuff, OR the durability and appearance qualities of SS.
