Any resources for easily replacing all of the brake lines on a 75 FJ 40? MAF, SOR, CCOT do not seem to have these.

get all my lines at napa have to shape them yourself but they work good hope this helps
i should have clarified that i need lines for an FJ45LV not a 40. i think they are very similar in the front, but not to the back. I do have the line that runs to the back so i could send it for a SS template, but i am not sure how long it is and whether it will have to be bent or not. i don't like the idea of having to straighten out a bent tube just to ship it.
If your rig is still set up with the original 1960s era brakes, then your lines use 9mm fittings, not 10mm like the 1971 and newer FJs. These fittings are VERY hard to find.
Sooooo, NOW would be a good time to ask yourself if you are even THINKING about upgrading your brake system in the future, and make the future NOW.
FWIW, I keep a set of replica brake lines for the front half of an early 40/45 in stock, but not the back. I have a local shop bend and flare them on a very nice flaring machine.
