Frame off...? about pre-bent lines

[coach]

Hey guys,
I'm grabbing another frame to box in and cut on to use with my new engine. Question is...where or who sells all the pre-bent brake lines, and larger fuel lines?
I researched everything today and found suspension everything and bushings, braces, repair panels...but no lines for on the frame.
I really want all stainless brake lines and a larger supply line coming from my double pumper.
Anyone who can help...please do.
I am great at bending lines, so if I have to, I will, but there has got to be a source.

Thanks
Coach

I would just use teflon braided lines for fuel stuff.

Hopefully someone will come out with this as a kit real soon, wink wink

I have 100's of feet of stainless tubing. No braided for me. My Pro Street car is all braided and it was not fun. I got pricked so many times by that damn hose!!! I don't use it unless I have to. I like tubing, tube sleeves, tube nuts, and unions. I have a nice flaring tool.
That's why I bent my lines off my billet vac block Mark...to avoid copying yours. I used your same block, just tubing instead of braided.

Classic tube sells prebent stainless brake and fuel lines. But they are all stock sizes

That will work. I'll grab the brake lines and do my own fuel lines.
What size is the feed line from tank to engine? 5/16 ??? I have 3/8 to use for it.

be careful before you order, i bought the prebent fuel line form classic tube and shipping was almost 100 bux due to the size of the box

Kirban has a 7 piece ss brake line pre-bent set for cheaper than classic tube. Plus they have the 3 ss hoses that go to the calipers and for the rear.

I have the SS classic tube brakelines on my frame and had Inline tube custom bend the supply and return fuel lines in in 3/8" and 1/2" same as stock specs just bigger you just have to change the clamps and figure out the fuel filter. Probably going to sell my current frame with all the lines and start the notched /boxed one so none of the stock lines will work.

Coach, I know your against the braided fuel lines, and i am too. I have seen first hand tests done at Racetronix with their 711 HOSE KEVLAR/CONVOLUTED TEFLON and this stuff is amazing. Black flexible fuel lines (no prinkles in your fingers). Looks stealth and a #8 hose looks like a #6 braided Russell line. I tested my car using their equipment. I have a Weldon 2025A, #12 feed from my tank to the pump, #10 from the pump to the front, Y block at the motor to feed each rail individually and returns at the back of the rail from my fuel pressure reg using a #8 back to the tank.
Then seen a test done to a GN there with a Racetronix double pumper using these lines (#8 feed and #6 return) to a stock rail, and returned back to the tank from a Accufab adjustable fuel pressure reg. I was stunned to see this cars fuel system out flow my own (by a substantial amount) without all the noise that mine makes, and........ my voltage in my car is more then the GN that was tested. Needless to say, I am switching to a Racetronix double pumper and Kevlar lines.......... Racetronix will be selling these lines as a package (return and feed with fittings) in the future if it's not already out there.

There is nothing cheap about quality parts. You need to have a closer look at Coach's build. When you build the best of the best, that's exactly what you use. Coach's taste is very similar to my own. I am not loaded by any means, but when I buy stuff for my car, I don't cut corners. My Buick is my exotic car, and if it takes me a while to save for the parts I want, then that's exactly what I will do. This Kevlar hose is also a fraction of the weight of the braided stuff. When you factor in running lines from front to back with fittings, the weight savings is substantial.

I dont buy anything cheap for my GN but when you have to pay $10 for a crimp sleeve thats a bit much. Now that i am boxing my frame i will more than likely be running braided fuel lines which i dont really care that much for versus the nice oversized SS lines on my currrent frame which were not cheap either but that small amount of weight add by the braided lines in not worth talking about in my eyes i will have 1000Hp on tap which should cover what ever weight gains i see!

 

[coach]

Thanks Mike,
I will have to look at it closer when I get a chance.

I fully understand what you are saying. But sometimes you have to look at long term goals. I have those braided lines in my car that you are referring to. This is the 2nd time I have replaced them. The rubber inside that braided line will deteriorate from the fuel, and then you will smell raw fuel vapors days later when you park your car in the garage which is the worst smell when dealing with pump gas. The kevlar line is a one time deal. You will never have to replace it ever again, and you will never smell raw fuel from it like the typical Russell lines. Not having your garage and interior of the car stink of fuel to me is priceless, especially when dealing with a street car.

I would never use rubber lined braided lines for fuel only teflon lined like aeroquip has and some others but i have heard some horror stories on the rubber lined springing leaks and causing fires!

 

[coach]

I still prefer to bend and flare my own polished stainless steel lines.
I'll look at the new braided, as I have never seen it before.

If you order from Classic tube ask for Tim in sales. He's a GN guy and more helpful then anyone there.

Coach, my apologizes I put down the wrong link. It's the 825 series hoses not the 711. Big difference in price too, and it's E85 compatible if you decide to try it at some point down the road.
