    Default Hard brake lines

    We're looking for Bundy (type) hard brake line tubing. Does anyone know a source for this?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Brown & Miller Racing. They can also provide nicely CNC bent hard lines as well. I'm sure there is probably a cheaper place to buy bulk tubing, though.

    Napa, Autozone, any car parts place will have it in 20 foot rolls. I buy the 3/16" and put -3 AN fittings on with the single flare and sleeve fitting. Extremely reliable.

    I have found the best place to buy hard brake line in bulk is to purchase it from truck (over the road) part supply stores.

    Thanks ... Jay

    I've used stainless tubing from Wicks Aircraft and flared it after adding a tube nut fitting.

    Found Cunifer line from FedHill and am trying Speedway motors steel line-ends. I'll tell you how it all looks.

    Some years ago we used to buy the main rear lines for the VW van - they were more than long enough, and really inexpensive - no need to spend a bundle on a bulk roll when you are only going to use a few feet of it.

    I'm using VW bug brake reservoirs. Wish I'd thought of the damned bus brake line-kits!

    Thanks all.
