Steel Brake Line Replacement Questions
The brake lines on my 99 TA are rusted like everything else on the car.
I have done some research on here but it is getting difficult to find real information.
1. Are the brake lines/systems universal on all 98-02 f-body cars? Will any year's parts cross over (i.e. will '02 Z28 lines fit on a '99 WS9 TA)?
2. Does anyone make a replacement kit that comes with all the parts needed?
Thanks for your time.

When I replaced my rusted out brake line on my old Camaro I just got a spool of line from the store, took the old line off the car, and bent the new line by hand with a bender tool to match the original line as close as possible. Then I fished the new line onto the car. I did end up reusing the braided flex part as it was OK and there was enough original line that was in good shape after it to use a union. I couldn't find a new braided section anyway.

i just got the ss kit from inlinetube for my 2006 sierra and they worked out no problems.
I found it conformating that their website home page has my truck listed right out front.
classictube is another good source i've heard good things about, i suggest you get the stainless steel kit from either of them.
the fbody uses metric jap flare fittings, 10mm mostly.
I have traction control so i have 2 lines going from the abs block to the rear axle and one hard line has a 12mm male end and the other is 10mm. Then the 2 flex lines connecting those to the hard lines on the rear axle I think are the same except one side of each line is 10mm female and the other is 12mm female. Then one hard line on the axle is 10mm male and the other is 12mm male, i suppose is so it guarantees left goes to left side and right to right and cannot be mixed up.
I just put an s60 axle in and was going to put new hard lines on it, but i had to reuse my old hard lines from the oem axle because of one line having the 12mm male fitting, no one locally sells that.
