For me I do not understand why anyone does the hassle with stainless steel
brake lines. The Cunifer (Kunifer) ones are so easy to work with and have no
disadvantage to stainless steel. I even use copper lines on my Sprite and
Morris Minor for more than 20 years, without any troubles. I would never go to
this poor bendable stainless steel ones. Here in Europe I would say 9 of 10 of
all Healeys have Cunifer or Copper brake lines installed.

Betreff: [Healeys] Brake line material
There are essentially three types of material for brake lines; steel,
stainless steel and a copper nickle alloy called Cunifer.
>From what I have found working with Cunifer is easier than working stainless
steel.
Has anyone worked with both materials?
If so, is stainless a lot harder than working with Cunifer?
My goal is not concourse; just a very nice restoration that at first glance
would appear original. Stainless steel would look closer to original than
Cunifer; that is why I am asking.
Thank you,
John Spaur
