Ford e150 brake lines.
 
My old beater 1998 van needs new brake lines.

I've googled for hours for a complete kit with no luck.

Any supplier there that you guys know?

Or just buy them by the foot and start bending... I really would like a full kit

Thanks for any leads

I'm seeing a few results here: https://www.bing.com/search?form=MOZSBR&pc=MOZI&q=1998+e-150+brake+lines
Advanced Auto, Autozone, O'Reilys, parts_geek, Carparts, etc should have them.
Stealership in a worst-case scenario.

It was a pretty common vehicle.

The thing is pretty much every store has the rubber lines that go to calipers/drums.

Im looking for the full kit in stainless steel front to back the whole van.

I think it would be hell getting pre-formed stainless lines into the ABS pump and along side the fuel tank for the rear feed. The ABS pump is under the drivers seat, yes?

I would go nickle-copper and spend on a good flaring tool(s).

It will still be a horrid job even with a lift. If on the ground, I hope you are a young man.

Thanks. They didn't have brake line kits.

I might end up just bending new ones

SS will out last the 98 van by a lot esp in Texas unless in a heavy salt area
and harder to bend

I redid a 944's lines after one burst
used two lines from the auto parts store
with union in the middle [way eazyer then fighting a single line into place]
the plain steel lines are eazy to bend

What happened to the old ones that they all need replacing? Rot out? In Texas? :confused:

Vehicle rust is an absolute nightmare in salt places. Replacing brake and fuel lines on a rusty chassis is hell but even worse is when they fail while driving.

I did my '71 Econoline many years ago. You need a good flaring tool capable of a double flare, a tube cutter, and an assortment of tube bending tools. Little time consuming, but very doable. The flex hoses are available anywhere.

It's just an old beater go to home Depot van with 59k miles that sits outside never washed.

Don't know the previous life.... Lots of mud and dirt covering undercarriage.... With moisture never drying.

Rear lines are leaking front ones I cracked one during inspection.

It's such a reliable cheap work horse that I'm committed to fix.

I will be bending tubes seems like....

Thank you guys
