Sorry, not feeling the best today.

Try taking a pewp, it helps me sometimes.

Yeah thats a decent kit, close to the one I have, they are super handy to have, not something you use a lot but when you need it, its nice. I made all new brake lines for my camper this past season, saved me $750, so it paid for itself in that use alone.

For most of you guys it wouldn't be worth it though, because unless you are doing a custom line of some sort you can buy prebent lines fairly cheap.

^Can I borrow that from you?
B-man I'll grab that bender next time we meet.

[Halon]

Nice. Yeah in my case there are no pre-bent lines as everything came with abs. So I have to make/run all new stuff.

One thing I'm confused on, is the guy who'd done this before said to go to Autozone and get 3/16 metric line. Sounds like an oxymoron to me, haha. So do I need some kind of special metric line? And then does that mean I need some kind of metric flaring tool?

[turbotalon1g]

the fittings will be metric, I believe thats what the metric part refers too, while the line diameter/flare size is 3/16".

So their bender will work you won't need a special one.

[Goat Blower]

3/16" line is not metric. It's also pretty big, that's what I used for my fuel line from the tank to the filter.

Yes it is, that's what I used for the abs bypass line on my flatty. The tubing size, and flare is all SAE, it just has metric threads

[Halon]

Gotcha. So yeah it appears I need 3/16" line, and metric fittings that appear to be M10x1.0. So also need two M10x1.0 tee's. All the junkyards I typically go to now charge to enter the yard, making it pretty worthless to try and find these little pieces there then. Might just try to find some Tee's at the hardware store, or online.

Just use vacuum hose and plastic fittings. It's safe.
