I've always used and been very satisfied with Classic Tube...

Generally, I'll buy the stainless versions to prevent rusting and look fresh.
But there are others. Inline Tube is one that comes to mind.

Others here may just recommend buying the tubing at a parts store and bend/flare yourself.
Basically lazy, I've found the pre-bent stuff much easier...

I think the pre-bent stuff is much easier to work with. I once tried bending and flaring my own for a different car and that was a wide awake nightmare! :mad: Save yourself the trouble and buy the pre-bent ones. I've had good luck with Inline Tube but there are plenty of others out there.

Finelines is another good company. I am very happy with their product. I bought their entire stainless brake line set and gas lines last year when I was going through my convertible. They are a manufacturer and sell direct (Year One sells their lines). You can find them at finelinesinc.com graemlins/thumbsup.gif
