iwas wondering if there is a set aftermaket lines or if there is a reliable way of making your own??? Cause we all know that the stock one are crap.

There was a guy on the other forum that used to sell them, don't remember what happened to him.



But check around locally. We have a Carquest here that does SS lines, and any hydraulic shop (think industrial heavy machinery hydraulic lines) should be able to do it as well. Bring in your old lines, say I want ss braided, and they'll take care of it.

the stock lines are fine, they ONLY break when you touch em, so leave em alone and be done with it?



the one i like is you uncrimp the stock line and replace it with similar clear tubing (maybe even aquarium tubing?), so its like stock but new and flexible

But the aquarium tubing could kink and they will become hard and brittle... see i had the motor rebuild so the stock ones came off and when I went to put them back in I noticed that at the one end where they bolt to the omp nipples on the block they want to spin..i ve seen them for the 3rd gens. That's why I ask......
