Braided flex lines look way cool, but they can be a pain in the ass. The
stainless steel braiding will act like a file against any thing it rubs
against. Rubber, steel, wiring, it doesn't matter.
So if you are going to use them, make damn sure they are not touching
anything, and if they do, you will have to physically insulate them from
rubbing against other important things.
