Anyone use this? I was looking at it at the parts store. The flexibility and anti-corrosive properties have some appeal. It isn't cheap. It is more than double the price of steel line, but if it flares and bends easier then it might be worth the extra $20. I read somewhere that it has been used in sweden for over 30 years.

 

If it flares and bends easier... I would think it swells under pressure easier as well.... If you want to go for high dollar brake line, go for stainless steel.

 

It's called cunifer..I never dove in to deep on the research..I guess because of the plumbing work I've done my only thoughts on it would be resistance to damage and leakage due to improper fit..maybe you'll have to use some kind of a conversion kit thingy...

 

I bit the bullet and bought it and I haven't found a thing wrong with it. It actually ended up costing less than the steel line because advance had a 25% off and $25 rebate on $50 purchases. So at $49.99 I had to add a .29 cotter pin on to the order.

This product is DOT approved and is OE on several European cars. I read the specs and it was very near to the steel specs. I think over a winter or two without rust it will probably pass the steel ratings. It is very easy to work with and route. Flaring in tight spots was a breeze. The only concern is that with it being softer than steel it will crush easily, but in reality 3/16 tube steel isn't exactly the strongest material either. I am not worried about this because it is inside the frame rail so it isn't exposed.

Stainless probably would have been better, but you have to have arms like Popeye to flare it. This will undoubtedly be my go to product for replacing brake line.
