Pre bent brake line kit
I'm getting ready to order a brake line kit for my 36 pickup. Who makes the best one and do they really fit?
Thanks, Bill |

I can tell you this... it was pre-bent as advertised. My guess is that it was pre-bent for a '65 Buick 'cause it was no where close to a '39 - '40 ford. A total & complete waste of money. In other words : junk.

Re: Pre bent brake line kit
The Early V8 Garage kit I bought for my 36 coupe was just shy of perfect. It was way better than I would have done myself with rock shields, proper clamps included, etc.
Not the cheapest but well worth the $$. If I had to do another, I would prolly go the same way. |

I did my 33 coupe in May and the bends are perfect. The kit uses all factory holes and looks like it came from the factory with Juice brakes. Great kit.

Re: Pre bent brake line kit
I purchased a pre bent SS set for my 48 from classic tube in Lancaster, ny (Buffalo) I was very pleased with the fit, I was glad because I think they would be a bear to bend.

Re: Pre bent brake line kit
Hello bbrocksr....I also add my vote to Richard and Dennis Lacy at Early V8 Garage.
I have a '36 Ford pickup and their pre-bent Brake Lines all fit perfectly. I just needed to tell them what Wheel Cylinders I was using and also showed them where my battery was located (in original position under wood floorboard). I also purchased their Emergency Brake Kit, worked PERFECT.... Bruce in California |

He and Dennis are genuine nice guys and put a lot of thought into creating a great kit. Everything they make is preassembled on an original chassis. Remember, your truck had mechanical brakes from the factory so everything had to be made from scratch by them. |

Re: Pre bent brake line kit
Another vote for Richard Lacy and the Early V-8 Garage in CA. I don't know where C&G gets their preformed lines from, but it must not be the Early V-8 Garage.
I bought Richard Lacy's complete conversion kit for one of my '35 sedans, including all the bracketry to mount the master cylinder and allow use of the original '35 brake/clutch pedal assembly. This was a huge advantage for me to not have to remove the stock brake pedal assembly and replace it with a '39 assembly. Everything in the EV8G kit bolted up and worked perfectly for me.
