Copy that. How long do you think a ruff estimate will do?

Damn! 55$ for the front pair of lines is a great deal for what are essentially custom lines. I had a braided slave hose made from a local place and paid 55$ for a single hose. I thought brake lines could be made by any hydraulic shop but there is only 1 in Austin with the special machine you need to make DOT lines.

Hey Billy, if I get you measurements for a REPU would you be interested in producing those as well?

I have REPU lines to measure from my project truck. Would you like me to add them to the catalog?

I hope this month. With Zoom-Fest in the works it might take longer.

Let me verify the banjo on the end is obtainable (Should not be a problem) and I will list them.

you can get it done locally. Luky's in Burbank and theres another one in Northridge but I cant remember the name. Hose-man is good also but they dont carry old school thread pitch.

Just ran across this thread and I'll make your catalogue one of my 'favorites', as I'm in the market for a set of brake lines for my REPU as well, might need other stuff, too.
I'll keep an eye out when you offer them.

Im sure they have it now but 2 years ago, them idiots wasted my time driving from Downtown LA to Irwindale. Picked it up but had the wrong female end to it (newer thread pitch); was another old school project with FB front brakes/struts. Luky's still $10 cheaper than Hose-man (brake or oil cooler lines).

We were able to find the special pinned banjo for the REPU lines.

They are now listed in the catalog.

I didnt realize there was anything special about the banjo fittings on the repu but thats probably because I havent taken em off yet. Im gonna have my GSLSE out of my garage tonite then I'll move the repu in for some work and pick up the new lines.

thanks billy!
