Classic tube carries jeep kits as well... in fact, 4wd carries that same kit from classic tube...

The "green" hard brake line stuff at NAPA or any of the parts stores is hand bendable now days and is awsome stuff. You can get long enough sticks to handle any of the single line runs on a Jeep tub. We re-did the YJ and "moved" the lines to a better location than the factory run. Stuff also blows away the cost of the pre-bent lines as well.

Just my 2 cents worth.

yes but factoring in the labor cost to do someone elses when you own a business is important....it would probably be cheaper to buy pre bent ones...just my .02

That's what I used to mate my 96 master with my 89 prop valve.

It did bend okay, but I had a hell of a time flaring it. I ended up having to scrape off all the green coating to get a grip on it...
