I don't want to get off topic, but what's up with InLine Tube?
InLine Tube penalizes you if you buy from their eBay store. You are exempt from any customer support other than email communications through eBay. It is not any cheaper to buy through the eBay store; I bought through eBay because I had quite a few gift cards from Christmas.
My order arrived incomplete. Called InLine Tube and was told that eBay orders are only supported through eBay email. This took 2 full weeks to get replacements (please send pictures of your parts, explain if the box was damaged, or opened, etc). Fine. Everyone makes mistakes.
Installed the lines. Fitment was so so in some areas.
Then I fought one line leaking for another two weekends of frustration. Back to the game of support through eBay email (send a picture of the line that is leaking, etc). Did not get a response for 10 days!
I finally threw in the towel and hired a mechanic to come to my house ($45/hour). Seems the problematic line had a off center flare. He fabricated a new line using his (very nice, professional) brake line machine.
Then fought other seeping leaks. My mechanic did a 'last ditch effort' and tightened the lines until the tube nuts were damaged. Leaks have stopped, but these lines will never be removed again. My mechanic (a former Porsche/BMW mechanic who is now a mechanical engineer I work with and in process of a 1966 Chevelle resto) thinks the quality was mediocre at best of InLine products.
The eBay feedback for InLine tube reflects my experience. Negative feedback averages about 5 to 7 people per month. They have a 99.1% positive rating, so I am in that 0.9%, and I will make certain people hear my story.
If I ever have to do this again I'll fabricate my own lines. The line my mechanic fabricated did not leak with just a single torque of the tube nut.
