[Spridgets] fuel line and brake line

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

You'll most likely need proper bending tools to bend steel line.   Steel 
lines also corrode, even if galvanised/whatever especially if they salt  the 
roads in the winter and you drive your car on those salted roads.
 
Copper is supposed to work harden and brake though so far this hasn't been  
my experience though the shorter and more prone to vibration lines have 
been  replaced by Copper/Nickel (CuNi) lines which can be bent by hand.
 
I like to use brass fittings on my brake lines as well.

Use  metal fuel line where you can, it won't break down.  Copper may be ok  
but
steel line is cheaper and works fine, any good parts place will have it  in
straight pieces, although you may have to put two together to get the  full
length.  alternately, purchase some CuNi or steel brake line of  the right
diameter and use it.
