    Copper?

     



    I had the same issue and I was going to replace the line with Copper tube. I found the same size copper tubing while I was looking for the compression fittings to repair the old plastic tube.

    Can anyone think of a reason this would be a bad idea?

    Copper will break from vibration over time, 3 or 4 feet of braided steel & fittings
    will cost ya much less than skin grafts......
    If nuthin else at least use steel brake line

    Steel or stainless steel is fine--use flex connection at block to prevent work hardening and cracking. Had sucess with this.
