Re: NiCopp brake lines

I used NiCop lines and used standard cad-plated steel fittings, 3/16" tubing both front and rear. Look up Pirate Jack on ebay for your master cylinder and prop valve. Ive used them on about 4-5 builds and never had a problem and have gotten EXCELLENT customer service.

Thanks Willie. From what I have read, 3/16" is acceptable for the entire disc/disc application, and standard in a lot of applications. I did find Fed Hill US and will likely purchase from them as they have the fittings and the brake line. I will take a look at the MC you listed. I have also found the below flaring tool for 3/16" lines only that has good reviews.

3/16" Double Flare tool

I've heard nothing but horror stories about aftermarket combination valves but I could not find a good NOS one for the life of me when mine gave up during my brake rebuild. I went with Pirate Jack and not only was the fit and ports an exact match, it worked well.
