About to start plumbing brakes on the bucket. Looking for input on line material. I know there have been threads before, but im not searching right today I guess. Something somewhat easy to bend, I'm decent at bending, but can always use help. Something that I can polish up a little since a lot of it will be visible. Nickle Copper?
I don't know how it polishes but this is popular. https://www.yitamotor.com/products/...Ag1PmeJoOulgZqwhRCS2QpWhmiDZQ8_kaAm_XEALw_wcB Stainless steel polished would be nice.
Hey, search the HAMB for Nicop brake lines, there are quite a few threads on the subject, most everybody likes that material. Also search for Cunifer (same stuff different name I think).
Use the NICOP line, it polishes up nice is very easy to bend and flare. I have used it to do 3 different complete brake lines jobs with. I wont use anything else. I would recommend getting the appropriate stone guard for it in stainless.. Makes a nice contrast to line and in my mind should be required to protect t0 the lines. And its cheap now. Amazon will send it right to your door. https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Nicke...&qid=1583782557&sprefix=Nicop+,aps,265&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Nicke...qid=1583782557&sprefix=Nicop+,aps,265&sr=8-14
I don't recall the exact thread, but there was some discussion about the copper nickel line and the gist was that one of the brands is a very slight bit thicker and formed flares better. Stainless is difficult to bend and double flare.
Thanks guys I thought NICOP was what Id seen on here before, but wanted to make sure. @Nailhead Jason THANKS! The links are a huge help. The stainless guard on it would look good
I used that Nicop stuff on a car and found it very wiggly. If I use it again it will require twice as many clamps as regular steel line.
Here is a pic of the stone guard on the Nicop line when putting my 39 together. It’s worth the extra bucks to use it.
