Something you might not know about brake line: In the last year or so they changed the metal it is made out of and it is softer than the stuff they had in the past. They did this so it will bend easier and it also is able to bend back straight and not kink or tear like the old stuff. The reason i bring this up is because it might not be as strong as you need. I actually built my own brake system for my drag car last winter without the use of a tubing bender, just my hands, something i was never able to do before with older stuff. Just an FYI.


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.
