looking for brake lines on a 97 cavalier

Hard lines or hoses? Hard lines can be made; all you need is a flaring tool and a good tube bender. Hoses... I'd think your FLAPS would have them.

good luck

Yeah - but use a double flare tool for brake lines. I don't bother using my tubing bender anymore. Just make careful bends and work them gently so you don't kink the line. You don't have to follow the exact run of the factory lines. Making your own brake lines will be a fraction of the cost of OEM brake lines. A tiny fraction.

This is a 97 car, not sure if they still use double flares or ISO "bubble" flares.

Easiest way to determine is to remove the line you want to replace and take it to your local NAPA or whatever. They can match up the fittings and identify the tools you need.

On all of my GM's Nate, I haven't found any bubble flares and I replaced brake lines on up to 98 model years. But - like you say, the aftermarket guys can match up what he needs. So here's a question - on cars equipped with bubble flares - what do they use right at the brake and at the proportioning valve? What's in between is not all that important when you're running new lines but those ends of the runs do become a tad critical.
