What's works for cutting brake line tubing made of Cu/Ni?
 

What are some of the ways that are used to cut 3/16" Cu/Ni tubing used for the brake lines? :flag2:

A tubing cutter.... these lines don't work harden like Stainless Steel does.

You could also use a cut off wheel on a die grinder... or a body saw...

But a tubing cutter would work just perfectly.

Cu/Ni works like butter. A small tubing cutter works great

Thanks for the replies
 

Great, Thanks for the replies I have lots of experience with SS tubing from 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" in a chemical plant setting, but nothing like this. I do have a nice rigid tubing cutter that works on these sizes. If I try the tubing cutter method would you recommend getting a mini cutter? :thankyou:

I used an Empire 1/8"-7/8" mini, it work perfect.........you'll be surprised how pleasant it is to work with. Buff it with 0000 steel wool and it has a very nice patina.

^Clean lines!

Looking great...
 

I can't wait to get to cutting, bending and polishing. I am going to be using the black version of the Wilwood manual master cylinder. I plan on mounting the adjustable prop. valve and Hurst roll control solenoid on a plate underneath that will use the mounting bolts for the master cylinder. Firewall, hydraulic clutch mounting bracket, plate with prop valve/roll control solenoid then master cylinder. :hapdance:
