Detroit fxexable tubing in troy Mi. or Jegs cat. ot summit cat. Earls are popular. I saw a artical in a carcraft that said one way to cut the line is to get a big pice of AL and a chisel and hit the line it will cut in half real nice. I used tape and a cutoff wheel it worked great.

We do custom length steel braided lines. We have a few color options on the hose (red, blue, smoked (smoked looks like carbon fiber) and AN fittings (Red, Blue, Black and silver (natural). PM me your email address and I can send you a pic of the hoses.
