I am in the middle of doing brake work on my 91' Pontiac FB, and I am trying to see if any shop sells ready made pre-conformed brake lines or can recommend a good after market brand for a quick install with a after market proportion valve set up?

thanks in advance!

You're not going to be able to buy a bolt-on setup.

A brake flaring tool can be easily rented/, borrowed or purchased, and you can buy pre-flared brake line in various sizes and lengths with flare nuts already installed.

Good to see you're still around and have a 3d gen Shelton. Did you ever get that 700r4 working again?

It was done a long time ago, I ran out of time and had to get "Pete the Pirate" to rebuild it up and install it! ...Much thanks for that! Wink

Now I am just chasing this crazy brake job all over after putting in new hoses and new master cylinder and a new proportion valve from Tn.
and getting all new lines to make everything fit to metric, the only line giving me an issue is the right front brake line and were gonna put some plumbers tape on it to avoid a mess while the car sits for right now, it sure was nice driving it again for the first time since Dec 2011, she runs as smooth as ever and has had numerous upgrades!

I have cut this line 2 time already and I think I am over doing it too much , so I try one more cut and flare and if that does not do it, then it's time to get a whole new line!
