Best Source for 1970 front disk brake lines?

[Phil G]

Don't know about brake lines. One of the few things I DIDN'T have to replace on MY '71 Camaro or my '76 Monza! I DID have to replace the master cylinder to rear brakes on my '66 VW Beetle "Von Wreckedoften". Got in it one day as I was getting IT ready to run (I have this thing about buying "orphans"). I was barefoot and got in the front and the floor was wet! WTF? Hadn't been raining... Lifted the floormat and it was BRAKE FLUID! Coming from the line that apparently had rusted through, and "somebody" had patched it with JB Weld!

Got THAT line and a new master cylinder from Advance and put them in...

I've always had good luck with the local parts stores. Within five miles of my house is Advance, NAPA, O'Reilley's, "Vato Zone", and a Pep Boys is about ten miles away. Also, Summit Racing has a store a few miles south and their "Regular" UPS shipping gets here Next Day!

Never used the other suggested vendors, but you might have some luck with the ones I mentioned. Spoke with the guys at Summit a few times and they all seem VERY knowledgeable! Bought a BUNCH of stuff from them over the years!

I keep meaning to drive down there and kust look around the place, but I'm afraid if I DO, I'll come out with WAY too many "Goodies"!

YMMV...

Talked with a rep from RPUI- which owns Right Stuff and some other parts lines- and for the 1970 year their part #FH202 is really close to the og GM line configuration. All of the others had the 1969 specific bracket collar swedged on and the finishes weren't gold either. I'm picking up a set tomorrow, so if anything is different I'll report back.

Thanks to all for the input.

On a side note I bought gas line ,return line for a 73 Z from in line tube at Carlisle ,they did not have and they shipped with a bend,. I installed them sometime later and the fit in rear was horrible ,they did not match and the bend forced the rubber line against tank. I showed them pictures and they did not care they said it had been too long since purchase. So I then bought just the one line from the right stuff , it shipped without a bend and fit like a glove . Long story short two thumbs uo for the right stuff and two thumbs down in line tube

FYI I just purchased the front rubber hoses from summit and they did not come with the metal sleeve your referencing. I believe the brand is right stuff RSD-FH31
Hope it helps

The RSD-FH31 doesn't cross reference with a '70, but nonetheless how did it compare to the original brake hose if that's what you were replacing?
