    Need Brake lines etc.

    Well, we blew a brake line Saturday so I am planning to replace them all, steel lines and the hoses. Is there a good/quality source for these. I get a lot of parts at Mac's but a lot of times they do not have the parts in stock. I am also considering a new master cylinder.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      Most of the T-Bird suppliers have brake lines that fit exactly in regular steel and stainless steel. Stainless is twice as much, but you never need to replace it.
