I went to town today to buy some premade lines for the Yugo today, to discover that nobody in Jackson has anything in m10x1.25 bubble flare, not even adapters. I need to replace 4 lines and splice one with a union. I can barely find the tube nuts online, and hate flaring lines.
Tried:
-Napa
-Oreilly
-Autozone
-Advance
-Auto Value
-Performance(a local parts store/speed shop, huge weatherhead cabinent).
What do I do?
Napa didn't have it? Wow... That leaves buy yourself a metric bubble flare kit and make your own lines...
That's what I did on the 924. Ordered a generic bubble-flared metric brake line kit online and put it together myself.
Although I did find some metric lines at my local True Value hardware of all places.
Buy yourself a Mastercool flaring kit and some bulk line, reuse the tube nuts if they are not too cashed.
The Mastercool kit makes flaring actually fun!
Nevermind, it looks like NAPA can order them from their warehouse, I didn't think they listed brake lines by application! Convenient. I didn't think to have them look it up in the computer. I usually refer to the Yugo as "a 76 Fiat 128" to parts people old enough to remember them.
Earl's High Performance is a good source for all types of stuff.

i was going to say, my napa has plenty of that.
Im 99% sure that's the same thing that VWs use. If you have a parts store that will let you go look through the lines yourself you will see they have 3 styles, American, Japanese and European. The european should be the 10x1.25 bubble flare.
I went to every store in town, nobody had anything that lined up. They all had two bubble flares in preformed line, M10x1.0 and something bigger. I saw no less than 3 different brake line adapter fittings kits, none of them contained anything in my size. There aren't many VWs or euro cars in general around here, probably as much aircooled stuff as modern.
Looking at the application guide for the premade lines on the NAPA website, it looks like they fit a lot of BMWs, Audis and VWs. Weird.

I admitted defeat and ordered a bubble flare kit off amazon. I will just drill out my old nuts.
