I can feel your pain, but I have to say that Inline Tube is a vendor that I buy anything I possibly can from. Their customer service is 2nd to none IMO. They helped me out originally by straightening out a brake kit for my Wildcat a long time ago. But recently we bought their rear brake conversion for the Cutlass. They advised before I bought it that one of the brake cables might not fit correctly. They were correct and asked me what I need in terms of cable length and sheath length and over nighted me exactly what I needed and it was spot on. And for no charge of any nature.

I've purchased from them 4 or 5 times without issue.

Have you contacted them?


Thats good.

Everytime I get something from them its always slightly off

GM made thousands of lines over the years. ILT makes their lines based on samples sent in from customers. Some hand forming may be required. Keep in mind stainless is harder than steel...I never had ANY luck flaring it. From post #4, this is a GM pattern, maybe not for your car, but it looks like it could fit, so use it as is.

Yup...pretty much. They can't even get the 4 brake lines right for the front.

My early production Canadian built 78 Malibu had that same weird bend. I ordered stainless lines when I replaced the tank and got the same ones you have. I installed them with no problems. Not really sure why the original had the weird kicked out bend.

I've only ever gotten the distribution blocks from them. I got one for my Wagon and also one for my D88 . Then I always make all my own lines. I'm not worried about concourse factory bends. I make the stuff fit nice though.
