stainless braided brake lines?
Well I dropped my truck over the weekend and I guess in my haste to get it done I didnt bend the pin on the castle nut far enough out of the way and my brake line snagged it causing a small leak. Since I have to replace this line does anyone know where I can get stainless braided lines for a NNBS?

Wilwood sells a braided SS kit for their upgrade front brakes on 07+ Silvies, PN 220-10979 for the 14.25" rotors and 220-10980 for the 16". Not sure if they will thread right up to the stock calipers though, outlet fitting is -3...haven't spent a whole lot of time studying stock calipers so I can't be too much help letting you know if they'll fit or not.

I got mine from a local racing supply shop. I had some problems though. Keep in mind that the upper banjo fiitting on the frame where the braided lines will connect to the hard lines are 12mm threads. I tried 7/16, 3/8 and
10mm threads and made 5 trips back to the shop before figuring this out. Everyone told me that there is no way those are 12mm but they are! 12mm fittings are rare and to make mine work i ended getting adapters from a hydraulic shop. No one in my town had 12mm bolt on lines!!!
