Brake and Fuel Lines
 

My brake line running from the front to back rotted out as did the two lines on the axle. Does anyone know if you can buy these any where? Also I noticed that the fuel lines looked pretty rough and wanted to know if I can buy them anywhere.

Most lines you will need to bend and flare yourself. Make sure you use union type fittings to repair brake lines and not compression fittings.

Where are the fuel lines rusty? If it is within 12" or so of a fitting you can get repair kits. If not you may have to bend and flare on those also. If you car is newer you may be able to get a new line from GM. I got one a few weeks ago for a 1998 Grand prix.

A few companies make prebent lines. Some offer new lines in stainless steal. Try inline tube and there are a few others just can't remember there names.

The car is a 94Z. The line for the left rear brake was leaking. The line going from the front of the car to the rear was leaking in like five different places. While I was under the car I noticed how bad the fuel lines looked and decided that they should be replaced as well.

I replaced all the hard lines on my 2001 Silverado with pre-bent stainless lines from ClassicTube. The stainless is harder than normal steel and I had some problems with getting all the lines to seat and seal up properly. Eventually they did, but it was annoying while they were still slightly leaking. I've heard of this happening with stainless lines from quite a few people.

I had this issue with my Nova.

Now apparently the hot stuff is the copper nickel tubing. Very strong, anti-corrosive, and much easier to bend and form.
