Has anyone bought the Bus Depot Brake line kit for their Vanagon? If so, is everything the right length? I'm going to replace all the brake lines on my 1987 Syncro Westy... Thanks, Stacey

Not familiar with the BD offer, but the syncro front hard lines are unique. Changing the hardlines on an assembled syncro is a frustrating job. I would reach out to BD. I can’t imagine they can ship prebent lines. Even the dealer lines back in the day shipped straight and had to be bent to fit.

Thanks Mark. I am happy to bend the lines, just need the correct length. If the Syncro hard lines are different than the standard Vanagon, then the Bus Depot lines won't work..?

From memory the front lines on a 2wd end behind the shock tower. The front lines on the syncro terminate in front of the shock tower. Can’t say if the lengths are actually different. Best to check with BD.
