I have stainless steel braided hoses available. No hard lines are made, but they can be custom ordered. Why are you replacing yours? Have you considered used?

replacing them all because im tired of messin around with them. Just want to put new lines all the way around on the cheap lol. They are all pertty rusted and springing leaks all the time. A friend said hed put them in for 30 bux so why not. Need to figure out why I have no abs also.

It will be a lot more then $30 just for enough straight brake tubing to do the job. Does your friend know how to properly bend brake lines? The lines in these cars are quite convuluted and have very sherp bends that a hand bender will not match.

Well, the 30 bux was for the labor not incuding the parts. He was an ase mechanic for quite awhile but not sure what tools hes got etc..

He's a cheap mechanic. It tkes more then an hour just to replace the 4 rubber lines to the calipers, let alone remove and replace every hard line with a custom bent piece.

Well, hes a friend. Doing it over the weekend.. During my search I saw you had some posts about this stuff, braided lines etc, and that you had something custom you did?

I have the front and rear brake hoses made out of Stainless Steel by Classic Tube. They are DOT Legal. Classic Tube also has a complete set of 83-86 TC hard brake lines to copy because of me.
