Hi guys. I find this pretty interesting. Anymore views on stainless versus standard lines?

From my own perspective, when I was with the NCRS, I'd see the brake fluid drips (sometimes more frequently than I would have thought). And sometimes it was on uber-high dollar cars too. I never thought to look closely at the brake lines. I just shrugged it off as a potential side effect of silicone brake fluid.

In my own hot rod and drag race stuff, I build my own stainless lines regularly, but in those cases, the lines used aluminum AN fittings (not an uncommon practice, that's for sure). You can tighten them up pretty good and obviously, no leaks.

Now I'm working on my old Nova, and factory formed brake and fuel lines are on the horizon, hence my concern. The last thing I need is brake fluid melting paint.

So, anyone else with input on the topic? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
