nickel copper alloy brake lines

[stockgp]

anyone have these on their car? i assume their selling point is corrosion resistance. it's not a big enough preice difference to be worried about

 

any thoughts?

That's really the only benefit I could see. Stainless is another good choice, bit more $$ though. And tougher to work with.

I seriously doubt even normal steel brake lines will rust too severely before I get rid of the car. Its goint to be garaghed during the time I have it and only driven in dry weather.

 

I don't know that its worth it. Just something that crossed my mind

the nickel copper ones you can also bend and mold by hand without tools. if you live where theres bad winters its worth getting these.

Yes, the nicop alloy lines are damn near the best thing out there for corrosion resistance.

 

They are also super super super easy to bend and flare. Night and day difference over regualar coated steel lines.

 

Also, stainless steel is a bitch to work with, and extremely hard to flare. A special flaring tool is needed to flare stainless line.

the pressure generated by the braking system won't blow through them?

[BXX]

No.. they are damn strong

hmm..... i hear copper and think "wow, those either have to be some thick walls or they'll be weak as shit"...

 

maybe i'll find the time and motivation to do a whole vehicle.
