lines.
trailerpartsdepot. three 24"s and three 72" male 3/16" male IF swivel ends.
best part- $75 for all six! GREAT PRICE.
those flares are "fussy" took me an hour to get rid of all the leaks tightening (overtightening it seemed) a little at a time.
got all the leaks cured...
I took the original drop lines off and cleaned them up. Getting the steel lines to not leak at the "T"s when I put these back together was a biotch.
was about to go get 2 new 36" hard lines to replace them as the problem is the radius of the aproach, thay are just bent a little to tight to go to the bottom of the T that getting the flare to seat was a PITA
get that all straight and I find I have a leaky caliper!!!
piston o-ring or bad surface I imagine. About to get on the phone.

UPDATE:
put a call into Robert at southwestwheel. "Manuacturer defect, call them, but if they give you some long process I'll get a caliper out to you today and deal with them, they are right down the road..."
Talked to Kevin @ Kodiak, caliper going out to me today no questions asked. Return shipping on them.
his biggest problem is wanting to know who's sleeping at the test bench!
Good service.
