Anyone have recommendations on a store/shop for AN lines? I think it'll be cheaper to make my own. Or am I wrong?
Thanks!

The shop on Sunrise Blvd going down toward the junkers that the old 4wd store used to be next to. They sell Earls products, will do custom fittings, etc.... The guys knows his stuff.

It was called American Street Rod. Looks like they are no longer there and have changed their name to: https://www.facebook.com/artistictubing

Some of the Kragen (O'Rileys) have speed shops and have AN fittings (Placerville did). Don't know since the change to O'Rileys...

It's just a nice template in terms of generating a universal setup.

Cheaper to buy them already built.http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Goodridge ... 31417.html I run -4 on my front brakes rear brakes , clutch master cylinder, and steering ram. 1 spare hose fits 5 positions. Just use an adapters on the calipers. Mark

Oh wow now that is some good pricing.
I don't work with hydraulics at all. Can one of these put in to extend my current stock line rather than replace? Issue here is that on the rear axle the hose goes to a t-block, where it's swaged on.
I did receive a quote from Artistic Tubing that covered all 3 lines (20" long) and adapters/fittings for little over $100. The fitting to the caliper remains a banjo and a new rear t-block will be used. I do like those Kevlar ones above much better though....

Thats interesting. I had never heard of just Kevlar brake lines. All I have ever seen was Kevlar reinforced with steel braid. After a quick search it appears to be real popular with the sport bike crowd and not so much so with autos. Maybe it hasn't caught on yet. The only drawbacks I have found was that Kevlar doesn't like being exposed UV light, so it should be covered and has a rapid loss of strength with repeated flexing, folding... Sounds like a good product for race teams who replace their lines a couple times a year, but does not sound like a product that you can install and just forget about. For the price it looks like a great alternative for SB, but could have some drawbacks to be aware of.

OK braided stainless. Still reasonably priced. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-24-I ... 41410.html
