Dawso, Your topic best fits in the Driveline forum, so it's been moved there for further conversation and help.

Just a note from my own fairly recent experience with fabricating replacement brake lines, I found the NiCopp to be much easier to flare and bend than the zinc coated steel line. No issues with backing the nut off in my use. wink
