Where is the best place to buy one of these kits?   I have looked at the Speedway ones and also at the Eastwood ones.   I would like to use just a regular steel setup.  I want to do it RIGHT but I don't want to spend a fortune!  Does anyone have any opinions on quality, ease of installation with what is provided in the kits?     I know most of us need to redo our brake lines,  So what is everyone using?    SETH   I know you are a good resource if  you read this.    I also ordered one of these booster and MC combos.

thanks for the post but that don't help me out to much.   I already have the booster and MC,  I need a brake line kit!

What exactly do you mean brake line kit? You want the hard line? You won't find anything pre bent for your application. If I am doing all new brake lines, I prefer to buy it in a roll, and get a pack of the fittings in the size I want. You should be able to get it all from Summit for no more than $100 shipped.

Kit meaning frame tabs flex lines all the good stuff.   I would like to run the line up the link bar like you have in a couple of the rides you have done!  where do you buy your parts?

I keep those flex lines in stock for 3/16" and 1/4" line. I can look up the part number this week for you.   For frame tabs, I have always made mine, but Speedway sells a kit with weld on tabs and clips. They come Zinc plated which is why I choose to make my own. I don't like trying to clean the zinc off those tiny tabs. I recently found a place that makes them from chromoly for about $1.75 each. I have not tried them though. http://www.aa-mfg.com/pdshop/shop/item.aspx?itemid=658

which one of these do you think will be better suited for me?   http://www.speedwaymotors.com/COMPLETE-STEEL-BRAKE-LINE-KIT,999.html   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260336173184&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=   I know I will have to find flex lines for the second one but I will not need to worry about flaring and all that with it!
