Working on getting my wife's 78 ready for summer. Got into some brake line leaks in the front. Order what I needed, replaced went to bleed the brakes after rebuilding the drums and found another leak on the rear line running along the frame. No problem I can order one of those, while trying to get that off, that damm thing is rust welding into the rear flex line that splits it off to the rear brakes. Well of course after getting pissed and trying to remove that it spun in the bracket and kinked both steel lines running to the wheels. So now I need the rear axle lines as well. I cannot find those for the life of me though, am I missing something. Is everyone making their own, never flared before suppose I can if I have to, just find it odd I cant find those rear lines anywhere. LMC, Summit, etc does sell a full kit, but I dont need the full kit especially since I just bought the front end kit. Have seen some after markets to accommodate lifts which I dont have. Running stock on this one. Any other places I should look for these, everyone seems to be just selling Right Stuff Detailing lines.
 
You could use some of the nickle copper lines from your favorite auto store.
Ive made my own using the Eastwood (or similar) flaring kit and it kicks ass! Not cheap for a one time use though.
Probably a good idea to replace all the rubber lines as well, they’re probably old enough to swell shut. Might as well do the wheel cylinders too!
