Question Earl's SS Brake Lines

I'm looking for SS brake lines, but can't seem to find anyone selling the all-popular Earl's.

What supplier do you guys go through?

Also, what about the Russell brand of hoses/lines?

Ben

Ben, It's been a long time but I thought I bought mine from Jegs.com. They are not listed under ZR-1, but rather I found them by looking up s/s lines for a standard C4.

I am reasonably sure that DRM also has them in their C4 Brakes Section.

I bought Russell lines the last time from Summit. And yes they were LT-1 lines that will fit and work.

Just in case you do not buy the ones from Summit or Jegs and get the ones from DRM.....I just remembered this..... I had to buy shorter bolts from Jegs to make the connection. The stock banjo bolts are too long to use with the Goodrich(?) lines that DRM has.

I'm in the market myself. Amazon has both Earl's and Russel lines - with free shipping I believe.

Foggy memory from 15 years ago - I got a good set from DRM after returning a set to MAD which I couldn't get to seal at the caliper(s). The MAD ones were Russells.

I didn't see the Earl's on Amazon. I'll have to look again. Thanks! I've got the Amazon Prime deal as well, so it's 2-day shipping with no charge... not all that bad actually.

Ben, here you go....

I'm still deciding what I want to buy for a pressure bleeder, so haven't ordered lines yet - what are you using?

Glenn,

I'm really considering the Speed Bleeders... not a pressure bleeder per se. Do you have any experience with them?
