Default Front left brake line

Anyone know of a metal brake line that will fit the jaguar XJL That isn’t oem. I’m just trying to not spend $200 on a metal line if I don’t have to. I’ve called every part store in my area and they don’t even have a part number.

any help would be very much appreciated as I’ve already purchased a new caliper and pads and everything else and it’s getting rather expensive.

jagdaddy, your best bet would be to find a local performance shop. You can then pull your brake line and take it in to them and they can match up the ends and make the line out of just about anything you would want. still going to be a pretty penny, but should be about half of what OEM is.

You can bend and flare your own too, if you're so inclined.

Also you can get the pipe made from Kunifer metal pipe. This is a cupro-nickel alloy, the name tells you what is in it. The iron content is quite low.
