did you try to call them ?? Some companys get hundreds of emails each day & Might have over looked it ??

Really ironic I just got a reply from them ! Still didn't answer my question. It sure makes you think about dealing with people that can't even answer a simple question. I'll probably go somewhere else,not that they care. WP

Wayne, Inline has adds in all the car mags. Have not done bus w/them but I've seen them ref in HOT ROD, CHP, Pop Hot Rodin for many years. They say they have ANY line parts so I would probably call. BTW, I upgraded lots of my lines on the '82 from local Chevy dealer and NAPA. Dale

You know,thats nice that they have ads everywhere . BUT,I have found that the company's that don't respond to customers in a timely manner sometimes don't follow thru when problems come up. They may be a first class company but their slack response and then not answering my question makes me pass on them. As far as them getting too many e-mails to answer ,then maybe they need to drop the e-mail contact all-together. I have found several companys that have done just that because the e-mails took to much of someones time.

They're shop is local to me. I've not yet dealt with them, but I've heard both good and bad things. When there are problems, they get dealt with quickly.

The owners do have some beautiful muscle cars for what that's worth.

I have done business with them. Bought most of my brake parts from them. I even visited their shop when I was out for the Woodward Dream Cruise this past summer. I had an issue with the parking brake cable being too short. I took it with me and talked to them while I was there. Got an exchange for a longer cable.

I've had good luck with them, and bought lots of parts there. Calling them by phone is the best way anyway, to make sure that they know just what you need.

I have to chime in here.
I bought fuel lines, ALL my brake lines, and some other clips for mounting the lines on my 72 from Right Stuff. When the parts came, everything looks like original. The bends are right, the fittings are right. Even down to the cloth wrap on the fuel lines where they go thru the frame.
I'd recommend going to Right Stuff. I think you'll be very satisfied.
Just MHO.

Thanks Dr Pepper , I don't have anything personally against Inline,but when they appear that they don't want or need your business by not returning inquiries or 10 minutes on the phone waiting in # 1 Q for someone ,thats enough ! I'll try Right Stuff . Thanks for the feedback . WP
