I went with the 1/4" green roll of brake line from Napa. it comes in a 25' roll. \n\nAce's is right, once you do a couple double flares its easy. practice on some old line, flare, cut flare cut and then bend it in a square then do a set of "steps" with the line... helps to get you used to figuing the bends.\n\nI thought I would use straight sections, but its easy to unroll the roll.\n\nAll the weak spots I found where almost always where a clamp held it to the frame or at a union fitting...\n\nIf and when I have to do it again I will just buy two rolls of line and a few box's of fittings. I must have ran back and fouth to the store a dozen times... Just buy in bulk and take back what you dont use.
