I've decided the only way to really get my ABS setup good is to run all new custom brake lines.

Hopefully one of you guys in here can help me out. I'll post this in the tech forum as well.

1) Where can I buy the tubing at? I've seen people use SS tubing to run custom lines before, but I don't know where to buy it at.

2) How do I determine what size I need....measure Inner Diameter or Outer Diameter?

3) I've read about 37 degree flare tools....do I need a certain degree, or is 37 degree the 'standard' style? How do I know which one I need?

4) FITTINGS.. Can I reuse the stock fittings, or will I have to buy new fittings? How do I know what fittings to use...will it be something along the lines of -4AN, -3AN etc?

I'm a newbie to this whole thing, but I want to do this RIGHT the first time around, and I'd like to learn. I've done some searches but there's not much there to help learn; everybody already knows what they're talking about.

Any help in the right direction will be very helpful! I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so if somebody can get me over this initial hump, I should be good to go.

 

Figured it out the hard way.

ABS pics will be up very soon

 

1. Go to a specialty hose shop or a refrigeration parts store.
2. Get a dial caliper and measure inner/outer diameters.Take original lines with you if you go to hose shop.
3. Never heard of this 37 deg thang. I got a flaring tool. I'd figure something out.
4. You'll need new fittings. Hose shop should be able to duplicate.
They couldn't duplicate oem mounts. Time to get creative.

What's wrong with oem brake lines?
