I found the uncoated brake line at Napa. I wasn't able to find it at other auto supply stores though, they only had the coated stuff. I got my solder and flux through Acklands-Granger, they had to order it in for me, but it was in the next day. I'm in Canada though, not sure if you have Acklands where you are. Good luck! I just got all my supplies today and am hoping to have my first try at brazing this weekend.

Check your yellow pages (do people still use those?) for a welding supply store in your area. They should be able to hook you up.

I got mine through Home Depot online. It was at the house in 3 days.
