    Never seen one, can't imagine there's enough market for it (since in pre-bent there's nearly nothing besides GM trucks, which had lines that might as well have been bare mild steel) since the coated lines don't usually rust, let alone that badly...

    Bending & flaring your own isn't that hard, especially with copper-nickel. Back when I used to do at least one GM a week, I had a nice system down... unspool line through all the obstacles it needed to run through, flare & attach the ABS pump end (which is always the tighter end on them since it's on the framerail) then bend it to where I need it & finish up the far end.

    Only one I know of is the small hard line by the caliper.

    Oh, and fun tip... before you start, figure out whether you can get your bleeders unstuck, or if you're going to need caliper(s) and/or wheel cylinder(s). Or advanced extraction techniques, if you're slightly masochistic.

    And if you're going to be replacing wheel cylinders, make sure you can get your drums off. When the axle seals went on my 1st gen, after I pulled the threads out of the drum removal bolt holes, I ended up having to cut the drums & air chisel the gap open to get them free... wheeee!
