1965 Rear Brake Lines Without Armor???

[James W.]

Does Anyone know of a source that sells 1965 small block rear brake lines without the armor protection? My late production (22,095) does not have the armor and neither does this 18,000 mile original '65 that I was able to look at during the Heartland Chapter Regional back in June. LIC had them but they are gone, everywhere I've looked they all have the armor.


Thanks,

James

James,
Inline Tube can fix you right up. Their description says "with spring wrap" but the pictured product does not have it installed. Possible misprint so I would call them to be sure.

Leif,

I looked on there website earlier this morning and saw that they had the one with the armor. I just searched the ZIP website and found them there. My first ZIP order, ever.


Thanks,

Armour was used on corvettes with a rear sway bar. It protected the brake line from the flexible sway bar bolt which is mounted in rubber in case it hit the brake line. 65 - 69 it was on big blocks only then in 1970 when the LT1 got a rear sway bar it was also used on those also.
