Getting ready to start the next project – replacing the brake lines on my 57 Oval. Who makes the best quality brake lines - not the cheapest? Has anyone used the new brake lines from Kaefer-Nostalgie advertised in the parts section for Split/Ovals?
Thanks

It will be both soft and hard lines. I also consider swapping out the single MC with a dual MC.
Thanks for the responses. |

I purchased the kit from Kaefer-Nostal. happy this far. I have been able to bend all lines except for the two fronts with a small tubing bender. I’ll tackle the two short runs once master cylinder is bolted in.
also purchase a dual cylinder. now, i'm down to what reservoir to use? _________________ '67 deluxe bus w/the little windows

Type4split - are you saying the hard lines came bent, or they were easy to bend to the correct shape?
Thanks |

Sorry, I had to bend them to fit. The long front to back tube was bent in half for shipping. I thought it would be pain to straighten, but was not difficult. _________________ '67 deluxe bus w/the little windows
