Default Galfer front lines

I won a set of lines off of Ebay but didnt notice it came with no hardware. Where is the best place to get the bolts and crush washers needed to replace my front brake lines?

didnt think you were supposed to reuse crush washers...

im assuming you can probably buy them from honda...should be the same thing you would get from galfer right?

the stock bolts are harden, the galfer ones aren't..so the torque specs are like much less, something like from 22 stock to 12 ft. lbs...

no you're not supposed to use the stock crush washers, but take a look at them, if they aren't messed up, they can be reused...i have reused mines and so have many others with no problems. how do you know if there's a problem? when your lines start to leak! so it's a chance you take...but you can just get them from the dealers...for real cheap.

You are correct stuntn_r6 - there are two lines coming off of the front master cylinder (with the Galfer kit). It was incorrectly stated that you can re-use all of stock parts - the bolt isn't long enough.

Get ahold of J.T. @ chromewhore.com - he hooked me up when I bought my set.

Couldn't tell ya for sure.

Like I said before, call J.T. or send him an email and let him know what happened. If anyone can fix the problem, it's him.
