Features
For restorers the availability of pre-bent, reproduction steel brake line kits is a blessing. Why, because fabricating brake lines at home with the correct length, bends, armor, fittings and flares is darn near impossible. Fortunately, reproduction brake lines from Eckler's meet all of the above criteria, the length is perfect, the bends are just like the originals, correct armor is used where applicable, the fittings are the correct size, shape and color, the lines have 45° double flares and they are made of steel just like the factory installed lines. You'll also be pleased to know these lines meet or exceed all D.O.T. specifications for safety. The next thing you might ask as a restorer is why do I need to replace my original brake lines at- Ecklers Legacy Number: 36845
Description
Did you know? On steel brake lines and particularly stainless steel brake lines (because of their hardness) it is especially important to seat the flared lines into the brass blocks. The best way to do this is with brake line wrenches so you can apply adequate torque to seat the fitting. Most open end wrenches tend to round-off the fitting before it is fully seated. It is also interesting to note that brass brake blocks are ideally meant for a one-time use only.
