Hmmmm, I've used copper/nickel on brake lines before and liked it. I may have to check it out for fuel lines too.

I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

I may think about doing the copper/nickel too. Although not rich, cost is not an issue. I don't mind at all paying for quality stuff.

Exactly. I'll never use anything but the copper/nickel any more. And we're talking about 12 feet of line, max. Fuel line isn't the place to get cheap.

I am really considering using the Cu/Ni for both brake and fuel lines. I'm glad to see others have done fuel lines with good success.

When I bought my brakes from Kore3, Tobin suggest the CuNiFer lines. I owe this guy a pack of beers!








I have all the flaring tools and such. Very easy to do. I bought my lines from AAS on Amazon. No issues what so ever.

I have 3/16 left for just in case. On the 3/8 I have enough left to make my trans cooler lines as well.

Again, Tobin
