Volvo 240 hard brake lines

[VolvoLatAm]

Been chatting over email with VP about brake hard lines.

For those who don't want to do your own hard lines with the special expensive tool:

DIY: Flaring your Brake Lines

I have to start this with a quote from Queen Gorgo in the movie ‘300’: “This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.” This started as a 10-minute job

www.matthewsvolvosite.com

VP Autoparts has every pre-made hard line in stock for 79-93 Volvo 240s, all are copper/nickel line, with brass fittings.

for the soft lines, I prefer the technafit braided lines sometimes found on FCPeuro for cheap

Not bad price to replace all those hardlines, can't imagine shipping is going to be nice on those longer ones though, thanks for putting this together

yeah not bad at all considering the cost of the specialized tool, VP put the list together, just adding here to not go to waste!

I believe the lines are the correct length but not prebent. So the shipping won't be too bad with the long lines rolled up.

correct, the lines would just be rolled up

I just bought lines from the dealership I work at. They came the correct length with the ends on. Just bend to fit.

Well- I got the rear axle lines. I didn't check the others if they were still in stock or not. My cost was around the VP prices, but in Canadian, and I didn't have to pay shipping.
