Who has the best fuel and break lines?

Post by rr6pak » Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:23 pm

Just what the title says. Who has had the best experience with what company as far as product, service, and price? Leaning towards the stainless steel lines but still up for grabs.

I had really good luck with "The Right Stuff Detailing"in Ohio.Ph.# 800-405-2000, I got tranny lines for my 71"GTX and a Fuel line for my 68' A-100 about 2 years ago.They are easy to do business with. :beer: Gary 71' gtx Gold leaf met.

My RR has Fine Lines brake lines. Fronts were fine but we had to totally reshape the rears and replace one of theirs with one we made ourselves. The contour of their lines for the rear axle were totally WRONG.

I had good luck with Classic Tube. I actually ordered my brake lines (stainless) from PST, but they are just a vendor for Classic Tube. When they made mine they didn't have a pattern for the front right line so the kit came without it. I sent them my old line and they bent me one for free. =) He was supposed to make a pattern so the future kits could include it. The only line that needed some tweaking was the right rear because it was bent for a 8 3/4 and I have a 8 1/4 rear.

Thats something, Bruce. They advertise that there lines are: " Instead, Fine Lines innovated programmable tube bending machines that produce exact radius bends and maintain factory style and form. Your car deserves this type of dedication."

Hope they somehow made it right with you even if you had to make one your self.

Thanks for that info, reline. I've never herd of them. I was either going with Inline or Fine line. Now it seems like there's a third company to consider

This occurred when I had US Car Tool finishing my disk brake, new line and master cylinder install in the mad thrash to get ready for Carlisle a couple years ago. FWIW, I couldn't tell you if the lines appeared to be shaped for a DANA or an 8-3/4 as they were so far off that they didn't appear like they'd fit anything Mopar!

Yeah, the guys at Car Tool said I should pursue it with Fine Lines and get compensated but I never bothered. I was happy the car was done in time for the show and that it now has the best brakes it's ever had. Disk brakes (even just fronts as on mine) make a WHALE of a difference on these cars! On a side note we also had to adapt one line to fit the proportioning valve in place as well, but that of course is NOT Fine Lines' fault.

Inline....My brother just did a rotisserie restoration on a 73 Charger and used Inline. I used them about a year ago. I live about 35 minutes from Inline, and its a really nice building/business. Well run and nice people at the counter. I would highly recommend. :D
