Last time I was across the line in Ogdensburg they had a coil of the copper/nickel alloy line at a bit less than three times the cost of the same length coil of plain steel line at Advance Auto Parts (and somewhat cheaper than at Fedhill). I have spoken with the owner of Fedhill and he says the cunifer pretzel on the home page was bent entirely by hand and that the one shown was the second try. The first didn't kink or anything but he just didn't think it was a tidy enough shape. I haven't worked with the cunifer but it sounds like a very nice option.

Hey Barry,

Bobbo is doin a great job on fixin those old army trucks, maybe time to get him one too!!!!

Those brake lines we use here are full copper, you can also get steel as well ofcourse, but full copper is legally by law, not in Canada as you told me before.

Bye for now,

Stefan

Thanks guys for all the interesting info. It certainly looks like there are quite a few options. Price of course has a bearing on our everday vehicles but we shouldn't have any trouble selling this better quality to the special vehicles.
