Power Brakes SA will duplicate your existing lines as will any other brake shop. These guys are outstanding though and ship refurbished brake parts all over the world. Having said that brake tubes are a bit long and delicate to go shipping around the place. Buy a flaring tool and pipe cutter or take your old tubes to a local brake shop.

There is a Guy in Melbourne - Alex @ "The Brake Shop" - I think it's called - does an excellent Job - did A9X Style Front Brake Lines for me - fitted beautifully. Also did T700 Trans Cooler Lines - 0408121964.

thats were i got mine from, but he would not send the line that went from front to back, but i had someone in melbourne pick up pack and send to me,
they fitted well but i had a drama with short brake line on the diff as flare had a tiny split in it and leaked.

Hi Lee. I did as Clay has suggested and I am by no means mechanically minded but was able to do the lot and I am happy with the result. Just need to be patient and take your time. I admit I had more problems with the fuel lines, particularly the larger line. Here's the first attempt across the diff. Cheers Ron

Sorry should have added, I first tried with one of the larger type benders and had problems getting tight bends. Borrowed a friends Irwin small bender and worked a treat. Cheers Ron

You can buy or make tube straighteners as well.
Or measure roughly the required length & ask the supplier to straighten the tube. Get them to flare 1 end will also save you time.
Perfect opportunity to delete that ugly prop valve.

I have that tube straightener... works a treat
Not easy to get 6m straight lengths of tubing home intact

lol. I had 3 pieces with a flare on one end. Cost me $100 + $60 for the bender.I have that tube straightener... works a treat

Cheap compared to the $2500 fuckup that Better Brakes Mackay handed me back.

I’ve lashed out & bought an Eastwood pro flaring tool! Sooo much love for this!!!! 🥰
Not cheap but soon forget the cost when you use one!
After all the years of frOcking around with the cheap shit ones doing the same job over & over to get one good flare is crap!
The Eastwood is awesome fast & perfect every time 😁😁😁
