Just get a used drive flange from Will Tillery or any other bone yard. Hell, I may have 5-6 six of them in my trailer. If I get the time one day, maybe I dig them out and see what I want to sell. Otherwise, it's a steel part that normally does not ever wear out. I'm not sure why Steve-O says to avoid a used flange. It's not a normal wear item. Just call Will, he knows what you need.
$150.00 and you're rolling better than new.
RTE brake lines are made by Paragon Performance. They may not the "cats ass", but they are proven and tough. Yet, EE makes a really nice brake line and, IMO, they are worth the extra coin in the long run. They were not available when I got my RTE's, but I'm not disappointed. Maybe I like them because I drive a Land Rover, and not a F1/Indy bull shit. It's a brake line; DOT set's it's standards, everyone follows. I'm sure DAP's brake lines are good, but they are no different than RTE's.

Thanks for the information. I have dealt with Will before and he is a great guy and very honest IMO. I will give him a call when I get closer to the install. I am still recovering from my knee surgery and getting in the Disco now can be a royal pain right now.
