I was wondering about this myself.
I need the lower one that goes to the front cover for my 91 that should be up and runnin by next week.So If I replace one line, I should probably replace them both.
What gets me is the actual construction of the braided lines.
If all it is, is that the hose is the same except its just got a metal braid that simply slips over it like a chainmail sock, then ss lines are a rip off. If the construction has the braid interlaced into the hose, then I could see them being 189 bucks.
But if its not, then I'll just go down to the home depot and get some ss plumbing braid an rice them up that way.

rb has one of the fittings made for them so you can duplicate exactly, but you can get close enough not to matter. if you make it yourself its gonna be like $189 thats braided line an stuff is not cheap

You could go to a hydraulic hose shop and have them replace the stock rubber hose with some SS braided hose. This way you keep the stock fittings and get SS braided line. Its way cheaper this way. My friend got one of his oil cooler lines done this way at a local shop and paid about $40 bux for the line.

What are the specs on the RB, size, all that good stuff? You might be able to go to a plumping supplier and just get some braided high pressure lines...

Been there, done that. Don't you guys know how to SEARCH! humor.

The kicker is I'd already bought some Racing Beat/Mazdatrix lines but thought it was about time I tried to do it myself. And I did. Actually connected two oil coolers together plus the lines to the engine. No leaky atall. I be pro material!

Excellent! So, with 12ft of -10 AN Hose @ $12, coupled with 4 AN Fittings, you guys can probably see why $182 Isn't justifable.
I was looking at the pic again.
*As for the Rear housing adapter - 16mm to -10 hose end, the part # for the Earl's fitting Is EAR-9919FFJ $13.39
Fitting, Adapter, AN Flare to Metric -10 AN to 16mm x 1.5, Aluminum, Blue, Each
*As for the Rear housing adapter - 18mm to -10 hose end, the part # for the Earls'fitting Is EAR-9919FFK $13.39
Fitting, Adapter, AN Flare to Metric -10 AN to 18mm x 1.5, Aluminum, Blue, Each
No pics on the above.
I need to source out the others. Do you see where I am going with this thread? For less than half the price, RB replicas can be had.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Maybe you could take your stock lines to a hydraulic shop. And they can use those to make up some lines?
That would be cheap but might not have the sweet factor of the above solution.
