Pre bent brake lines
Has any one used the pre bent lines from
Right Stuff Detailing if so good or bad ?
It's just a few bucks more than a straight line that I will need to bend not to mention flaring the ends so figured I would ask
Thanks

I didn't use Right Stuff Detailing but I did purchase and install pre-bent
lines from INLINE TUBE. I am very satisfied with their lines and they were
pretty easy to install even with the body still on the frame.

I thought ILT asked not to be mentioned on the internet after they got busted in their lie-fest which escalated after I posted the photo of the lines they sent me that could not possibly fit, then tried to weasel out of it by asserting their lines fit only factory fuel pumps, leading to the other photos showing the factory fuel pump to which the ill fitting line was secured. etc etc etc.
Long story short- lots of nice items....
which may or may not fit
if not, they might try to blame you or the other parts or anything but themselves...
and, "school's out"
Other vendors exist.

didn't know they didn't want mentioned on the internet. They are certainly free to make that request. This is America still (sort of, thank you BHO). I gave OP some info for him/her to consider or dismiss as he/she chooses. I gave my personal experience and that's all I ever give. I'm not concerned
with ILT's preferences, I'm not here to please them or help them, I'm here
to learn and take others experiences into account and to share mine with
them. Period... Don't really care what a vendor wants or doesn't want. Everybody has good and bad experiences with ALL vendors. That's life..

I've also bought ILT brake lines and have no issues with their quality or fit. Only thing I found was wrong was the mounting hole for their brake hose to differential. Had to drill it out a bit but that's all.
Bottom line is buy from someone you're comfortable dealing with. I've heard lots of good things about Right Stuff, although I've never used them. They apparently also go beyond board with their customer service and dedication to helping the hobbyist. I'm not 'endorsing' them, just linking feedback from others on this site who have generically said ^^^.

Thanks guys for the input . I have read good things from this company and have got there disk conversion kit. they asked if I wanted pre bent lines at the time I said no but, have been thinking of the time it could save me. if they are pretty close to fit. minor tweaks are okay but , if it's not even close or a few inch short then it's money lost. I have not been able to find any thing on lines them self I am a little slower then most on searching info. So figured make a thread and see the feed back

With whatever option
you go or vendor you choose, good luck with your project. All any of us can
do is go with what we feel is best for us and move forward. Let us know how it works out ....

I've used Right Stuff several times, all good. I will say that last fall I went to one of their booths at Carlisle and priced the lines for my 69 442. Went to a second Right Stuff booth on the other side of the fairgrounds and got a quote about 10% lower. That's where I bought them from.

Don't know about the pre-bent lines, but I put a Right Stuff's 4 wheel disc brake kit on my '68, and they sent me one wrong part.(1 wrong rear caliper, was for a camaro/firebird with staggered shocks), so I had two left handed calipers instead of 1 left/1 right. I called them, and 2 days later, a replacement was at my door(at their cost), and they told me to keep the extra one as a "spare" for my left side for my trouble.
Great customer service/help.....will buy from them again.

Inline Tube
Just finished installing steel lines and a new prop. valve from Inline on my '73 S. Fit was excellent. Cost was ~$235 for valve and steel lines. Should be good for another 40 years.
