No worries!

Measured with a rope today. Roughly 25' so I went ahead and bought 50' of Nicopp, also bought a variety pack of stainless steel fittings.
Going with the Napa master cylinder, going to order it tomorrow, hopefully they have one at the hub and I can get it by the afternoon. U joints will get here when they get here. Not too worried cz I need brakes before I drive it lol. That'll keep me busy for the next week probably.

United were made by Wagner Brakes and I believe they still are. Wagner and Raybestos are good quality USA brake brands, so I would have no problems with using NAPA's United brakes. I can't get into Duralast for anything major. I have a phobia to ASzone. l,ol

Actually, for cars the Duralast Gold and Duralast MAX pads are pretty decent. But, I wouldn't use them on a truck.

Welp Napa didn't have one at the hub but it'll be here Wednesday. Brake fittings should be here today and brake line should be here tomorrow. Since it's Nicopp going to try the hand bending, don't have any sharp bends that I know of. Will be renting the flaring tool from auto zone unless someone knows a better kit to rent?

I bent all of the 99's lines by hand. I also covered them with vacuum tubing in places I thought might be susceptible to rocks, etc. I "rented" a flare kit, got frustrated, and ended up having a brake line shop do all the ends for me. It wasn't too pricey if I recall correctly.

P. S. I've always known this stuff as Cupra-Nickle line. Where did "nicopp" come from?

EDIT: Never mind. It looks like NiCopp is a brand name, maybe?

I've seen cunifer and Nicopp, I think Nicopp is the "hip" name everyone is calling it now.

Yeah I'll see how the rental tool goes. I can't spend $200 on the Eastwood one although it would be nice lol. Worst case I'll look into having the local shop whip them up real quick.

Also guys pardon if this is stupid but am I missing something? The "clip" that came with the line is around the 2nd groove. The 2nd groove doesn't go past the brace piece. So I can't clip it into the brace. So do I clamp real tight the clip around the smaller 1st groove? Or do I need another clip or what? Previous brake line wasn't using the bracket so I don't know how it should look.

The pic with it in the brace has the clip loosely around the 1st groove.

The clip in my picture came on the line, on the 2nd groove.

Like I said I honestly have no clue cz the old line was just taped to the trailer wire harness, didn't bother hooking it up to the brace. Do you know where I can buy that clip or what it's called so I can google it?
