RE: {Chrysler 300} Brake lines

On my 1949 Desoto I used the flexible Poly-Armour brake line. It comes in 12-foot lengths and can be bent by hand for the most part unless you need to make a very tight bend then I used a tubing tool.

Flaring takes a little practice though as this stuff is a little softer then regular line, the down side of its flexibility.

The poly coating is nice to keep it from rusting over time. I DID however find that it was a good idea to wire wheel the poly off the end, about ½ inch to get the flare to bit well. I also always put a very little bit of anti-seizing compound on the line under the nut and on the nut threads making sure I do not get any in the flare itself.

Over time this line has been fine.

Pre bent is best if someone has it and it REALLY is bent to fit. But if not, this is how I would go.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Brake lines

Hi Group:

Looking to replace the brake lines on one of my Ks. Any preferences out there for one supplier over another (short of bending them ourselves)? I have previously used In Line, but don’t know if they are still reliable as a source. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete Fitch
