    I ordered my SS brake lines from Ray because the price was right. He got good reviews on here so I figured why not. Anyways, I was shorted 2 union bolts and 4 crush washers. Being as he's in Canada and still hasn't responded I doubt I'll get what I need in time to do this job by the weekend. I was only supplied 2 union bolts and 4 crush washers. I believe I need double that amount for my bike.

    Anyways, anywhere you guys know that stock these types of things? Advance auto parts couldn't help me.

    Any motorcycle, or ATV shop will have them. Agricultural equipment dealers might have the parts you need, but not necessarily in the correct sizes. What bike do you have?

    A Napa Auto Parts should also have what you need. If it's an older one with a wood floor and a guy with a long gray beard behind the counter that's even better.

    I know I should have gone with Len but Ray got good reviews on here and he was half the price and I'm poor LOL. I just sent len 115 bucks yesterday too :) I'll be buying everything from him from now on.

    Regardless, this Ray guy hasn't gotten back to me yet and now I'll have to wait 3 weeks to do this instead of this weekend as planned. I hate when crap like that happens. I'll hit the shop down the street. What size crush washers and bolts do I need?

    You can also get that from any shop that does custom hydraulic lines. Any place that has airplanes has one of these shops, just call or go to the local airport and ask them where they get theirs done at. Airplanes use the same basic lines as our brakes-only in multiples with slight length differences (redundancy)-hence the need for custom lines.
