Reproduction Of Original

For restorers the availability of pre-bent, reproduction steel brake lines is a blessing. Why, because fabricating brake lines at home with the correct length, bends, armor, fittings and flares is darn near impossible. Fortunately, reproduction brake lines from CorvetteSouth meet all of the above criteria, the length is perfect, the bends are just like the originals, correct armor is used where applicable, the fittings are the correct size, shape and color, the lines have 45° double flares and they are made of steel just like the factory installed lines. You'll also be pleased to know these lines meet or exceed all D.O.T. specifications for safety. The next thing you might ask as a restorer is why do I need to replace my original brake lines at all? The answer is because D.O.T. 3 & 4 brake fluids (the fluid the factory used and the fluid almost everyone uses) is hydroscopic, which means it draws fluids in, chiefly water, which over the years will corrode steel lines if the fluid was not changed regularly (and most owners did not). So, there's a good reason to change them and great reproduction brake lines available for your use.
