I doubt youll be able to get prebent brakes lines (or fuel lines for that matter), most American automotive manufacturers do not offer them[:@] Honda does......go figure.
Anyway, youre going to have to measure how much you need, then go to your local parts store buy striaght tubing and bend it your self. Get a rolling type tube bender somthing like this

-P.
PS: Thats the best to use to make some really tight angles without criping or kinking the tube.

Yes you can get them. Give Laurel Mountain Mustang a call, check out their website www.laurelmountainmustang.com I got a set of stainless pre-bent for a good price. Fuel and brake. Remember, as with most repro. stuff, there will be some tweeking to get everything to fit right. Also check Mustangs Unlimited ( www.mustangsunlimted.com ).

got mine at mustangs unlimited... no problem, didn't really take all that long to install either

might want to get new clips etc. while your at it unless your originals are in good shape - they are cheap, nice to have if you lose/break one on the R/I

As you are in Southern California, try National Parts Depot www.npdlink.com Almost all mail order and internet Mustang stores have prebent brake lines in both regular steel and stainless. I recomend the attaching hardware kit too, and you should also consider getting 7/16 and 1/2 inch flare nut wrenches (possibly a 9/16 too), Sears carries them.

Classic tube is a supplier to many of the mustang parts places. I bought direct from them. They have the original steel lines, or stainless (lil more money), pre bent to factory specs with correct collor coded fitting where applicable and doouble flared. I got mine from them at a competitive price and they are nice quality and an exact fit. Check out there website.

Good luck.

Get yourself a few catalogs - CJ Pony, Mustang Unlimited, NPD, you'll be amazed at number of parts you can get for mustangs. Also, don't hesitate to ask local auto parts store - again I think you'll be surprised number of maintenance parts you can still get.
