Hello,
I am looking for brake lines that run from the distribution block to the master cylinder for my 1971 Super Bee 426 Gen. II Hemi.

I purchased a dual diaphragm booster and master cylinder from Dr. Diff, but he does not sell the lines now due to quality issues he was having.

I cannot find anyone that sells these lines or has the pattern.

My car has front disc/rear drum power brakes.

Tried Inline Tube, Fine Lines and Classic Tube, none of these outfits have the lines for the dual diaphragm booster.

Inline sold me stainless lines for the single diaphragm that are short about 4-6 inches that cannot be used.

This was realized once I installed the booster and master cylinder.

Hopefully someone on FBBO has a contact to share that has available or pattern to custom make.

FYI: Moving along with the restoration, originally a 383 4 speed with 3.91 gears, upgrading to 426 Hemi and changing to 3.55 gears for highway cruising.

Below are a few pictures of the car B5 Blue, original color on the trim tag.

Thank you for the reply MW!!!

If i have to bend my own, that is what I will do, but I prefer to buy if available to spend time putting car back together.
 
Sell the power stuff and go back to manual. I know, you don't want to hear that! None of my 3 cars have power brakes, I surely do not have trouble stopping them, and one is a Hemi.
 
Hello Bird,
I hear you, my 1972 442 W-30 4 speed has manual disc brakes and the car stops fine with a bit more pressure than power break cars.

I am hoping to be driving the Bee and the 442 when I hit a 100 yrs. old (now 64), hopefully the eyes and legs are strong enough then to stop the 442.

If not, with power brakes, I would have the Bee to drive with my old weakened legs :)

Thank you for reaching out!!!

Sincerely,
Manzolds

I can get the manual break thing and I use a large cam and have power brakes but it came at a price, I had to install and external pump to the booster but I to wanted my power brakes for the long haul
