Factory Brake /Fuel Lines Source - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Blue Flame Restorations · 02-19-2011

I haven't started the search yet but I will need ALL brake and fuel lines replaced on the 88. Does anyone know of a source for these? I don't know if GM still supplies them but I bet they would cost a fortune from them.

I'm going to call some of the usual restoration suppliers. My fear is that the car is in that area where it's too new for anyone to make a complete kit and it's too old for GM to supply them.

Has anyone bought any lines lately?

I'd try ZIP first.

Do you mean the hard lines, the soft lines or all lines?

Brett,
Let me look in "Tommy's used parts inventory" for my take off OEM rubber brake hoses....I'm almost positive that I saved them when I did the s/s line conversion.

Also, I know that when I went looking for stock rubber brake lines at Rock Auto ( don't ask why...I'm ham fisted sometimes ) that they had some but the quantities were very low and they gave indication that wagoner was not making them any longer???? This seemed strange to me?

I know that at the time GM was NLA on the rubber lines, this was 3 yrs ago...maybe.

Tom

Okay, I do have the 4 rubber brake lines. Let me know Brett if you want them.

Classic Tube makes a complete set of stainless lines for $399. Found them in a Mid America catalog.
