Jim,
If you are doing a concours car then ignore these comments.
If you have the old brake clutch lines then this may be an option. I =
went to my local auto parts store which had the proper size brake line =
in fixed lengths. They also had the tool to do the double flange needed =
for these lines. I got all the lines from them and they loaned me the =
flange tool. You will need most of the fittings from the old lines, the =
fittings on the new lines from this source and I suspect and regular =
parts house are not correct for our cars. Pick up a small tubing bender =
from a number of sources and bend the new line to match the old line. =
When I did my car this was much cheaper than any source I found.
I use Dot 5 (Silicon) brake fluid only because I do not the brake fluid =
eating the paint. When I last did the car (1997) getting seals was no =
problem. The car is currently setting waiting for me to find good =
seals. For me unless you want to protect your paint is the only reason =
to use this brake fluid.
my two cents

Soon it will be time to install hydraulic and fuel lines. What are my =
options? Mo$$ shows a brake set available in copper-nickel alloy. Are =

well do this right while I'm at it.=20
