Off the top of my head I couldn't tell you. I'll look the next time I'm in the shop.

These lines as well as new stainless fuel and transmission lines came today.

They all look EXACTLY like the old ones except that they aren't all rusty and deformed. :lol:

It is nice stuff and it is well worth the money if you don't have the patience for bending/flaring it yourself, or you need it "correct". They didn't charge me anything to fix the brake lines (even though it wasn't their fault aparently)

Good customer service and fast. :clap:

Good deal! So after everything was said and done, how much did these run you?

That's the trouble I had with the rental tool from the parts house. Every flare was off center. I bought a good used set from a buddy that was missing the 3/16" and 1/4" inserts. I got the inserts I needed from the snap-on rep. No problems after that.
They had a nice looking set on the snap-on truck, kinda pricey though. I think the set was about 140$
I probabley spent 30$ on brake line, but I bet I could do one or two more front end swaps with what I have left.
