Topic: 67 brake and fuel lines

[68 GT]

The NJ 67 coupe we're restoring was built April of 67. Four wheel manual drum brakes. Will upgrade to power front disc brakes from Cockostang. Question is, where are you guys buying your pre-bent brake lines and clips from? I need to check with Dan to see what brake lines I'll still need to buy. I'm sure I will need to at least buy the one that runs down the transmission tunnel to the rear. I'll be running all new fuel lines as well, where are you guys buying pre-bent gas lines and clips from?

Classic Tube is supposed to be selling steel tube that looks like the old style Terne Steel. In recent years many tube bending companies have changed over to a different kind of steel tube that is more available that does not have lead in its protective outside coating. The new stuff has a blueish gray look that is dramatically different then the look of the steel tube that came on the cars when they were new. Classic Tube also sells stainless for the restomod crowd. Besides being more expensive stainless is over kill given the regular tube will last for many decades before degrading . Stainless being so hard is difficult to get fittings to seat and not leak. I believe AMK Products sells the most authentic reproduction  clip and fasteners kits.

+1 on Classic Tube. AMK has a $30 dollar minimum that is not hard to reach if you need some other hardware. If not NPD carries a lot of the AMK products. You will also need a new master cylinder and distribution block.

Thank you both! Classic Tube it is and AMK for clips! I'm getting a new master cylinder from Dan with his conversion kit and will validate the distribution block. I'll call him and confirm what all I'm getting with his disc brake conversion kit.
