I threw out all my old brake lines and I'm looking for a stainless set. Just found these on Classic Tube and was wondering if anyone had used them

Nice. My EV conversion turned into a frame off, so figured I might as well replace the brake lines.

Are you utilizing 15" rear wheels on the front? I LOVE the look of the car with 15s in front.

They work fine, pretty good fit. May have to tighten the fittings a bit more than you are used to. Luckily all the fittings can be reached after the body is back on in case you get one that's a slight leaker.

Cool. I find that with stainless fittings it's best to add a dab of grease to the threads. Keeps them from gouging up the fittings when tightened.

What about the rear?

Got them . I would say pretty happy with the experience . Quick turn around. Qaulity product. Stainless . Make sure you use the attached loctite and lube threads or you'll score the fittings and they will leak. I would agree with Dave as far as fit.
Pretty good. Not pretty great. But all aftermarket lines require a little hand massaging. I am happy. Would definitely buy again. Ill report back again after I have them installed. 65287

As Dave S says, you really have to tighten the fittings or they will leak. A bit of brake fluid on the threads and the flare will help. To seal a flare type fitting you actually have to deform the metal in the flare. Copper is easy, steel is harder and S/S is even harder still! Best to use flare nut wrenches that wrap around the fittings and get a real good hold. Don't use open end wrenches or adjustable wrenches. There is no torque spec.

Also be sure not to use a box end to tighten inline fittings.
