[Fot] Brake line

[Bill Tobin]

Allen, it's the best stuff on the planet. Easily flared and shaped; won't 
kink. Also won't rust.
    Most good local parts stores carry different brands of copper nickle 
alloy lines. Bowes is a distributor if it.
Federal Hill Trading Co sells the line, fittings, and a very nice flaring 
tool, which isn't cheap 'cause it aint made in China. Very nice tool. Give 
them a call, they have a very knowledable guy working there. Knows his 
stuff.
    I think Richard Good uses the line in some of his applications.
    I've used both FedHill's lines and local sourced lines; both are good, 
FedHill is a step above but a bit higher priced. The garage next door uses 
copper nickle alloy lines extensively; they don't rust.
    Happy New Year to all.
    Bill
