Same same. I got zookers for him  $35 each. I have seen price comparisons. "On that other forum" up to $75 each! Ring around. Any brake place will do them.

picked up my brake lines this arvo,came to just under $70 so happy with that.My only concern and possible problem is the fitting at the caliper end that from factory has the little kick in it,there ones are just straight and they said thats all they had and its the right part number for the zook and that the book says to bend to 25 degrees if needed.
From a quick look in the shed just then it looks like it will clear and not need the bend,anyone else care to voice an opinion or experience on this??also how would i bend it without causing damage?thanks,matt
