Classic tube of Buffalo NY supply stainless steel brake lines with the proper
ends and both the bubble and double flare. Mac Tool sells a brake line bending
tool for 3/16th line that will provide sharp clean bends.
Brake fluid attracts moisture so even a humid day can cause moisture therefore
I would stay away from the steel lines. Copper lines should never be used on a
braking system.
We have an article on our website by Carol Smith about this.

If someone knows the wall thickness for 3/16" stainless steel brake line
material would you please send me the information?

In addition, when I read the instructions for the double flare tool, that I
need, it states not to use the tool on stainless steel. Has any one used the
standard tools on stainless steel? What are your experiences?

I presume that the stainless steel is not good for the durability of the flare
tool.

Thank
 you,
John
