I'm replacing the flexible brake lines and haven't found pre-made ones
locally. I bought 2 different sets then had to return them as they were
very different from the old ones. I figure it will save time to have them
made rather than wait for another order.

I hadn't been worried about quality as there must be some DOT requirements,
so why are people buying stainless steel? I won't be racing and looking at
the originals, can't imagine the system producing enough pressure to blow a
hole in one.

There also seems to be an inordinate number of people replacing steel lines
as well? How much rust can there be in a system with little O2 getting in.
I imagine you can tell if you take one out and bend it in half but I would
rather not.

Any advice appreciated.
