Re: Brake line mat'l?

They are plated steel. Copper under a zinc based anti corrosion.

If you want shiney buy the stainless, $189 from Inline Tube IIRC. Otherwise you can polish them very lightly and then clear them, it will last a few months.

Breaking thru the copper is bad, there wil be rust on the way.
