Where to find brake hard lines?
I've checked Jeg's, Summit, and JC Whitney but can't find a place to buy 3/16 straight tubing for brake lines. I've got a coil of coated mild bundy tubing, but I'd like to use straight lines under the car. Any idea where I'd find some?

I just got a 12" hard line for the RX-3 at Autozone, they did have other lengths available but I think only up to 40" or so.. probably not enough to run the length of the car.

The trick to using rolled coil tubing is how you roll it out. Take the outside end of the coil, put your foot on it and roll the coil against the floor away from you. When you get a couple of feet rolled out, lay a concrete block, or something heavy on the end, and continue rolling.
Keep the tubing flat to the floor and roll in a straight line. The little waves that are left can be straightened by hand. Final straightening can be done when the line is secured to the body.

I didn't realize there's that little "memory" in mild steel tube. I figured it would try to coil back up on me and look ridiculous under the car. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Crit! How's Daisy doin'? If you get a minute can you check out my other post in this section? I think you may find it interesting as well as have some useful input.
Thanx man
