nickel brake lines.

[ddpsnake]

I just came back from my parts store and grab 2 brake lines,they don't have steel any more so they say.So these are nickel and bend real easy,my concern is they are not going to seat and not leak,very soft they are.Has anyone used them.Thanks for your thoughts.

It’s a nickel copper alloy blend (nicop alloy) standard on all vehicles now a days. Used it on my 67, very easy to work with.

Make sure you do a double flare

We've done 2 cars with them haven't had any issues...once you got the hange of making the flares correctly. It took 2 different flaring kits, don't waste your money on the $19 eBay specials. Use a good quality unit and use a little oil on the flare , seems to help prevent splitting on the final flare
