Brake System light revisited

I used to buy stainless lines...then one I day I realized they were one of those 'upgrades' in the hot rodding world that is actually a downgrade.

Yes, they will last forever (assuming that today's SS which is probably made in China is actually to spec). But other than that, they are inferior. They are harder to bend, harder to flare, and as noted above, harder to get to seal properly. They also are more expensive.

As for the lasting forever part...what difference does that really make? The stock lines last 50+ years - we've all seen proof of that - and I certainly won't be around in another 50 years. Whoever owns my cherished A Body in 50 years will most likely yank all the brake lines anyway because, well, they're 50 years old. As we all know, nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky. And a diamond. A diamond is forever.


As for the brake system in question, I wouldn't sweat it too much until the car is driven a bit.
