Default Sourcing Brake lines for ABS removal

So I've read every ABS removal thread. But no one listed any sources for these lines.

I'm looking to do this without converting to AN fittings so Jegs and Summit etc don't seem to have what I want. Also putting an in line Hydro.

Stricktly steel braided M10 x 1.0 lines and T's. Where did everyone get these?

The hard lines? At your local auto part supplier, IDK if the kids at autozone will know what you're talking about. I used to work at a AUTOVALUE / BUMPER TO BUMPER warehouse as a sales man, and we could get pretty much anything. (got my LS400 BBK +rotors and calipers there)

all you need is two hard lines.. and one tee.. i did mine and i have no idea why people make it more complicated than it seems..
right below where the steering shaft comes out of the fire wall, down by the frame there is a union there that goes to the back all you do is run a line to that for the back.

the other line just goes across and put a tee there and re-bend the other stock lines and attach it there; the three remaining lines all T together.

I was planning on doing one long single line to the back and teeing it near the rear to each wheel and then a T in the front in hopes that it would make my hydro more effective instead of two long lines to the back...if that makes sense.

go to the junkyard, MOST toyota corollas have the "T" grab em, go buy a hardline kit, and a flare tool. done and done, no need to buy expensive AN fittings or stainless lines. IMO hardlines are better if they are running the length of the car, BUT i did notice a stiffer pedal when braided lines were used at each corner replacing the rubber factory lines(hardline to caliper)
