    Even braided will deteriorate and it will be under the braid so you won't see it till its too late if you do want to use braided use the teflon version as its much more reliable but doesn't tke a tight radius.
    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.

    I agree - Dago has to do his research on which one to use, but AeroQuip has a good one and the brand I used for any flex lines except brakes (they were DOT Russel's) for my car. Longacre has the Teflon as well

    There was a great thread on here on how to cut braided stainless line. If you don't want to spend a fortune on cutters, one member posted using a chisle, hammer, and aluminum block under it. I was extremely skeptical, until I watched the video and did it myself.
