Default Anybody ever use this product?

Cunifer brake lines, sold by FedHill.


Sounds like a better product all around,

AND since I need ALL need brake lines I am powerfully interested.

But I would sure like to know if anybody has ever used this stuff?

New Pre-bents are " pricey" , freight is a little silly, and trying to make decent small radius bends myself is tough,

AND good bending and flaring tools are pretty costly too... more than the Pre-bent set costs !

Thanks!

Beauty! They rent the tool for $25 a week and it appears to be a work of art.

I worried about the Copper thing, But they claim Porsche, Audi and Volvo use it so I am guessing it takes heat?

Nice find!

I wish I had seen this before ordering one of those pricey pre-bent fuel lines. Like you said shipping is crazy. $100 part, $40 shipping!

Copper Nickle alloy? Don't know. Don't think so? Porsche use it so does Audi & Volvo?


More concerned about being able to take the best route without kinking or putting undo side pressure on walls and such.

Brake failures at 165 mph is a real bad thing.
