Ni-Copp Brake/Fuel/Transmission line

[Minercar]

A friend just sent me some of this and wants me to double flare it for him and see how it works.

Anyone ever use it ?

The sample he sent me is 1/4" and I think it may be too large for brake line.

Has anyone else used it for brakes?

 

[Hellrats]

Yes I have used it many times now with great success. 1/4" is large for a brake line.

I have used it. It bends easy without kinking. It is sometimes difficult to make a good double flare with.

1/4 inch is what GM cars and trucks used to the rear brakes so no it is not too big for brake lines.

I think our A-Bodies use a 3/16" line going to the rear.

3/16 is correct /// use it all the time,just like other line//cut it square with a tubing cutter and BE BURR the inside, this is a crucial step (it centers the tube to the cone press)

I replumbed all of my front brake hard lines with the stuff. Absolutely love it. Easy to work with and very forgiving.

I like it too. I use stainless gravel guard around it.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Subcom or Chryslerfat, If you used the 1/4" for brake lines what did you use for fittings?

I only use it where it was factory on the GM vehicles. Mopars were 3/16 factory and I prefer not to change the factory specs when it comes to brakes.
