Looking for Solid Brake Line Suggestions

[grathke]

Do I need to put in a 1 turn loop in the lines to help take up any viabrations?

No.

You don't HAVE to, but it's a good idea. The master cylinder moves a little when you're on the brake, and the loops give the line more material to flex.
Just keep an eye on that line for stress cracking. (that copper-nickel alloy line is just BUTTER to bend, ain't it?)

You're right it sure is easy to work with.

What I found out it is easy to bend the lines. If you want them to look really nice, it is quite a bit more difficult. If you want to make them look like OEM, that is another story.

I'm using the brake flaring tool from Eastwood, the one with the turret. It makes simple work out of flaring.

I think I'm going to redo the lines out of the master cylinder, at least for the front.

You don't need loops. But you don't want a straight line, either. Just a couple of bends here or there is all you need. If it is in a straight line (unlikely), just put a "Z" shape in there and you'll be fine.
