Source for pre bent brake lines

[Killer Bee]

I have quite a bit of high pressure hydraulic tube bending experience as part of my trade. heavy wall, stainless, etc. can be challenging.

I always recommend OEM steel brake lines where possible but as fate would have it, I was faced with a dilemma couple of years ago and gave nicopp (nickel copper) a shot. I was previously dead set against it.

worked out well and I would use it again for something not fast or requiring high performance tubing.

some of the guys at work have used it for utility vehicles and trailers without issue.

nicopp comes in rolls and is very easy to bend by hand and flares easily. biggest downside is it doesn't really hold a straight line because it comes off a roll. big upside is less connections on long runs and corrosion resistant.

lots of info out there on it but feel free to ask any questions. could be a quick inexpensive alternative to get you on the road until you figure out what your final configuration will be.

good luck!

I used NICOPP on my brake lines and it was easy to work with and looks great. I did use stainless steel for my fuel lines and it is harder to bend and I had to buy the correct tool to get the double flair leak free.
