Default I need new hardlines

Does anyone know where I can find a set of hardlines for my 94z. They look like hell and I have gone through hell trying to find pre-bent lines.

it is not that hard to bend them, a simple tube bender and a little time is all you need. just remove your old ones, and mimic the bends.

Classic tube probably would have them. Mostlikely could get stainless to

i got a very simple, solid tube bender for 10 bucks. i bent the new brake lines in my jeep for it, worked great, no kinks...even with 100+ degree bends. the best way to go it the napa for the lines, they can get you a custom size. it will come in a roll, but you can take it to a transmission shop and they will make it completely strait for you. then measure you sections out, mimic the bends already on place (this is much easier with the old lines out of the car, make sure you get stainless lines) and install.

make sure you get a double flaring tool for the line ends.
