Anyone know if they make pre-formed brake lines for an XJ rear passenger side (wheel cylinder to "T" valve)? If so where?

Just measure the length of the line and then bend it yourself. Cost you 5-6 bucks for the premade line, then bend it over a piece of pipe or something. I used a little bender like PA sells and did all my own, but if you're careful you don't need it. Brake line is really soft steel.

Yeah that's what I always do. I was just feeling a little lazy that day and didn't want to go through the hassel of bending it myself, lol.  Though that is exactly what I did.  On a good note though my rear brakes are awesome now... I must be getting better with the drums, I had it properly adjusted the first try, lol.  ;D |

tap the line with a hammer to form it to the bends in your axle.
