I recently bought a set of replacement brake lines (only, no fittings come with these kits) for my stock Hornet from Inline Tube - rear portion fit perfectly, but what they shipped for the front half seems nowhere near correct - first clue: they shipped 4 pieces to replace the original 3 pieces.



Am currently trading photos of my set-up with their replacements alongside so we can get to resolution.



Any of you guys had any experience with this bunch?

    Hi Jon,

    I'm having new brake and fuel lines made up for my 41 Hudson sedan. I had to be very careful removing them since they are computer read off the old ones to exact bends, comes with coatings, cloth or metal and correct fittings. Your choice of stainless or steel. Stainless slightly higher. If your showing the car they usually don't take off for brake upgrades if you go with the stainless. If interested post reply and I'll give necessary info. If your brake or fuel lines are gone or unable to copy this company may have your lines stocked. Whenever they make copys off good stock lines there stored in there computer.

    PS What do you have to do, flange the lines with your fittings?

    The new lines come with double flares & flarenuts; you've got to replace or salvage your brass fittings, as they don't come with your new lines (nor do you get anchor clips for the hoses).



    Sounds like these guys have one of those 3-axis digital pantographs for input right into their CNC programs. When I first called Inline about the problem, the fellow said they didn't have drawings or pictures to check against, just a CNC file....So I'm emailing photos. That might confirm they sent the wrong pieces, but it doesn't necessarily help solve the problem.

    I bend and flare my own stainless from the original lines. It is not that hard with a little practice, except you need to invest in a flaring tool to do stainless, the off the shelf ones will not do it. If you have a scientific or industrial gas supply house near by you can usually get 20 ft 3/16" straight stainless tubing, have them cut it into 2 10fters to carry unless you have a long bed truck. I like using straight tubing better than the coiled stuff, especially if you are going with stainless and not soft steel. I do get my stainless flare nuts from Inline tube or Classic Tube (http://www.classictube.com/) however.

    I want to let the Forum readers know that Inline Tube Co made an exact set of front brake lines in response to my situation with no hassle. The new ones look great and I'm sure they will fit as good as the rear lines. This is a company that stands behind its product offerings.

    Jon, I agree. I've had them do emergency brake cables for stepdowns and they came back exactly as they should. No problems and very quick turnaround. Nice people and excellent products.

    They did my Challenger lines for 160.00 in SS. I test fit (perfact) and then polished them! Great job, great company!
