I was talking fuel lines.lol I ran steel brake lines to the braided stainless steel caliper lines.

My fuel lines are 3/8 braided stainless steel for the supply and return that is on the corvette regulator/filter to another 3/8 braided stainless steel supply line that goes over all the bends and turns and then I have a straight shot that allowed me to use a 3/8 hardline that runs the length of the frame. I wanted to run that hardline over all the bends and turns but as you know 3/8 stainless steel tubing is a mother to bend and it was just too many bends so I went with a flexible stainless steel line to the hardline.

I totally agree that steel or nickle lines with out last all of us.lol
