DYI Brake Line Kit?
Hi All,
Does anyone have experience with DYI Brake Line Kits? I need a short line (for a non-muscle car) which is not reproduced. Would prefer something Made in USA. Thanks for all recommendations! Dan

If you aren't looking to make an exact replica, the NiCopp stuff is REALLY easy to work with. When I did the engine swap in my 49 Studebaker farm truck, I bought a couple of those to relocate the front brake lines.
I did a search and cannot find a definitive answer regarding country of origin; so I assume China. They do meet the necessary SAE standards (at least NiCopp brand does). That's what they sell at O'Reilly's. https://www.agscompany.com/products/...per-brake-line

BIG second on the NiCopp brake lines. Very easy to form, even complex, curves and reform the double flare after cut. I still recommend a bending/forming tool, or it will kink in a tight curve by hand. Having a hydraulic flaring tool makes this material even better, as I've never had one leak when done.
