Re: Cu-Ni vs. Steel for brake lines

Steel is a pain to double flare so anything that is better in that regard gets a vote here. High dollar European cars apparently have been using the cu-ni for years and seem to stop OK.

Several other forums on more modern cars mention buying tubing from FedHill and offhand didn't see anything negative reported. One concern might be the fittings and if the size you need is available for the size tubing. I don't think there would be any dielectric considerations if the size fitting needed were only available in steel but also something to investigate.
