Source for a K20 hard rear brake line?

[bassackwards]

Getting ready to put my 14 bolt in and want to replace the hard lines that go from the distribution block to the wheel cylinders. Anyone know where to get new pre-bent ones?

1979 K20 14 bolt if it matters. I think it has 13" drums but not 100% positive on that tonight

I don't see any going back to 1979. Later ones have different wheel cylinders and I have no idea whether the thread patterns are the same or different.

The best bet is always to make your own. Take yours into the parts store. Match the threads, diameter and length up to a blank straight piece. Always buy a longer piece. Make your bends and cut the excess off one end. Use a flaring tool to redo the end you just cut off.

Otherwise, for under 50 bucks you can order a different year and see if they fit.

If you use the new nickel-copper brake tubing you'll never have to replace it again due to rust...stainless is expensive and can be brittle,trying to thread a pre-bent line thru the frame rails can often kink or crack them..

A friend bought stainless steel brake lines for his 62 Nova that were "pre bent",but they came in a box about 3 feet long,folded in half!--your supposed to be able to straighten them out and not ruin them ?..well,he couldn't..had to cut them and re-flare the two halves and use coupler nuts to re-join them after they cracked in half when he tried to carefully straighten them..some factory GM lines he's bought for late model trucks came packaged the same way too..
