Replacement Brake Line.

[Arnold]

I was really admiring my local garages work doing that the other day. Man they do really nice work! They do an enormous amount of brake,fuel line etc. This guy just did this while chatting like he could have done it in his sleep..flaring every joint.
They ONLY use copper line now with a high nickel content. (The high enough nickel content  makes sure the copper doesn't go green.)Zero failures over a long period. Failures at some point with EVERYTHING else. They said they have seen straight pieces of replacement line..kink..ya..LATER..after some vibration/flexing..right where the initial bend was started. Some coated lines have ZERO tolerance for the new beet juice/brine/sand road salt mixture. Other coated lines simply cannot tolerate ANY little pieces of grit/abrasion being blasted at them off the road.

best is to use the proper name for the nickel copper brake lines...   people hear copper and they think it is the low pressure plumbing stuff not the high pressure capable NI-COPP stuff..

have a look at page 3...
