I've bought several things from him; door seals, seat track bushings, etc. Everything was delivered exactly as described, shipped fast.
I'll do business with him in the future.
FWIW, he has brake line kits in stock for less than $40.00. You'll need a bubble flare kit and a tubing bender to use them, though.

i kinda thought this was for stainless steel brake lines. what a great idea! this site lists stainless pipe for a lot of dough though... $44.52 for 8 feet  :o i'd rather bend my own lines and dip them in epoxy paint or something...

I bent my lines and then painted them once. I'd go SS before going that route again, it saves aggravation and time consumed. My trade off is in time, I have precious little time to work on my ride between work, the wife and my kids. If I had the time, I'd love to completely strip and then cold tar epoxy the entire car, so I'd have it last a long time. No I wouldn't go caterpillar yellow or jon deere green.

The new copper stuff works good. I am going that route next time. Also, summit racing sells spools of SS and alum. and the copper stuff rather cheap for us bending crowd.

copper/nickel line. NEVER used copper plumbing line, as it will crack from vibrations.

Copper/nickel line is nother new Volvo has been using it since the late 70's.
