Default Stainless Steel brake line - options?

What are my best options for replacing a stainless steel brake line for the front driver side for the big 4 piston brembo brakes?

Can these be rebuilt? Can you buy just one?

Thanks!

If you really only need the one, a decent shop should be able to make it from tubing and the appropriate fittings.
You could also change to the Goodridge stainless lines offered by the vendors.

Avail on original is one for the vendors too.

If you can use the Goodridge SS lines go that route & don't look back. Trying to get someone to fabricate the lines was quite frustrating when I inquired around. I was fortunate that Wilwood had some lines with the exact fittings I needed, even though the package indicated it was for the new Dodge Challenger/Chargers I believe.

Talk to Greg Brown. He's a hose guy, and a Goodridge dealer to boot. Were it me, I'd replace all with new, keep any good removed hoses as spares/donor parts, and never look back. Some parts just aren't worth risking IMHO.

I used the goodridge kit on my 81 when I overhauled my brakes. I got them from 928 international.
