Vendor recommendation wanted: 66 brake lines

[Gary B.]

I'd like to hear some recommendations for a vendor from whom to purchase a complete set of standard steel brake lines for my '66. In the archives I've seen recommendations for Fine Lines in Medina, Ohio and I've gotten one vote for Corvette Central. I'm concerned with correct fit and accurate cosmetics. Also, is there a single vendor who can also supply all of the brake blocks, clips, bolts, screws, etc., in close to the correct configuration and finish, especially for a mid-year?

I think Paragon only sells stainless brake lines, so I've ruled them out.

Thanks,

Gary

FWIW, I bought a set for Dad's 72 from Corvette Central. They were very nice, and actually came delivered in a box from Vette Products of Michigan. Fit, finish and accuracy were excellent.

Believe all major Vette dealers drop ship brake lines from the michigan manufacturer who does excellent work. mike

The terms 'accurate cosmetics' and 'stainless steel brake lines' are mutually exclusive. If you're having it judged, they're an automatic deduct. If you're not having it judged who cares about accurate cosmetics?

Just wondering

Then again, why pay more for something that is more difficult to seal, and more prone to failure under vibration than the original style?

Mike, Bill; I said "standard", not stainless.

Mike, Bill,

If you reread my posting you'll see that I said I want standard, not stainless steel and that I've ruled out Paragon because they only sell stainless. I do NOT want stainless. Perhaps I should have left out the word "standard" in my posting, but I was trying to emphasize the fact that I did not want stainless.

You are headed in the right direction, good luck!

Paragon also says ask for non-stainless *NM*

Right you are. The eyes see one thing, the brain reads another. Bad brain, no more beer for you today.
