I am restoring a 1986 syncro and need new metal brake lines. Can't find them anywhere for sale at the usual vendors we go to. Anyone have any ideas other than making my own? Kinda get the feeling I will need to resort to making my own. My main concern are regarding the long ones. Guess I could cut them and buy the flaring tool and make new ones, just looking for ideas. thx

Any local Parker Hose & fitting dealer will make your new brake lines for you--with the correct end & bends.

Let your finger's do the walking.
