Classic Tube is run by Paul and Lauren Fix. They are both car
people and they both do autocross and SCCA events. Paul has a 1966 Shelby
GT350 and Lauren was running an early Shelby Cobra. The brake lines they
make are exact reproductions and of excellent quality.
I have not bought any of their brake lines but I have seen them.
My suggestion to you is to remove and measure all the brake lines on your
car then call Classic Tube and compare what they have to what you need.
Classic Tube database should have what you need but check first.
Alternatively, you could order a coil of stainless tubing and the fittings
from Classic Tube and make your own lines.

Steve,
Thanks for your reply to my question through Mike.(still don't know why
I can't send Email to you directly?)
I think (hope) that the "accordion" pleated sections you mentioned at
the Classic Tubes (http://www.classictube.com/frames/4/index.html) site
are really springs around the brake lines (look real close).
That being said, let me share with the group my original question:
Hi Steve!
I get the Tiger Digest and it is obvious that you have a Lot of
experience and expertise on Tigers! If you have the time, could you
answer a question?
I am looking for a set of brake lines for my Tiger and found Classic
Tube
(http://www.classictube.com/frames/4/index.html). They have stainless
lines
( all pre- bent into shape) for $199. Do you know anything about the
company? Does this sound like a good price? Do you know of another
source?
Anyone have any input?
Thanks, Jim Postle
