Best price I could find at the time. You can actually coil it around a 1" wooden dowel by hand without kinking it. It also flares easy with a regular double flaring tool and there are coated flare nuts available. Some of the auto parts stores carry it but it is quite a bit more $.

Now you tell us about the NICOPP brake line, right after I finished bending all my own lines in Stainless Steel..... Geeeez..... "LOL"
The SS is tough to bend and flare & is unforgiving if you make a mistake !
Sounds like the NICOPP is nice stuff to work with.
