Which tubing for remote brake reservoir?

Hello,
I bought the CPP remote reservoir kit and got it all mounted then realized they didn't send me enough hose. It's a clear tubing and says it's for beverages up to 175 degrees. I'd really like if I could find something to sub tomorrow but not sure what works with brake fluid?

Jeff

Re: Which tubing for remote brake reservoir?

ptfe or teflon lined tubing is impervious to brake fluid
if it's a small line you can get teflon lined brake flex
i needed 1/2'' tubing for my remote reservoir
i bought it from an industrial supply company that was local to me

an alternative would be to use ss brake line and hose clamps
cut your clear tube and use the brake line to fill the gap
