Need to replace hard brake lines... I need to replace the hard brake lines that run from the front of the car to the rear. 
Does anyone make lines that are already preformed/prebent or do I just have to buy lines and bend them myself?
Does anyone make flexible lines that I can run instead of the hard lines?
Thanks

Hi. I came across your post while searching for fitting size info. No one makes a replacement line for what you need that I am aware of. (How would they ship it if they did? That line is rather long.)
I will be making my own rear hard lines for my 9" installation. I plan to use 3/16" Cunifer tubing. You can buy it by the role. From what I gather, it's good stuff, very corrosion resistant and easier to work with than stainless steel. I plan to source the fittings locally once they are off the car and I can match them up for size and thread pitch etc, or I could just call SJM as he probably knows exactly which fittings are needed.
For $25-35 one can purchase the tools for bending, cutting, and flaring.
One of our sponsors, SJM, is good for this stuff. Give them a call.
