Stainless or Mild Steel for Hard Brake Lines

[Bajades]

Do you guys favor mild steel brake lines with a double flare, or stainless lines with a single flare for Class 1/10?

Most use regular brake line. If there is a problem with it, it's likely not the line's fault.

Seamless stainless is nice for many things, but you really need to have $pecial tools to work with it.

What about mounting the hard lines? What is the best way to mount hard brake lines like when they run along the back of a rear end like on a truggy? What's the cool way???? I've seen washers that have been curved into like a taco shape and then welded every 8 inches so that the brake line can be zip tied to them. I saw that on Quinn's car at McKenzies.

Thanks for your help.

weld on tabs with bulkhead fittings. i suggest G&J aircraft/competition in ontario 909) 986-6534, they carry a sleeve that slides over the line and butts up to the back of the single flare on stainless lines to make them a double flare.
