I'd just run that axle line in 3/16" brake line that you can buy right down at the auto parts store... they sell it in various lengths. It's not SS - but WTF -- you're not building a Ridler car like Mario. It's easier to bend --- and should come with 45* and ends that might go straight into the T and the other end into the caliper. That or whack the caliper end and put a 37* single on it to a -3.... don't forget to put the tube nut on etc BEFORE you flair... Been there and done that DOH!!
The rubber line has been replaced.

I still have enough nickel/copper line left from doing the front system.......Awesome material to work with and it has a nice patina to it. Even had straight ends for the calipers and 37* flares in stock!

Just need to find new protective sheathing.
