I stumbled upon it tonight while looking for stainless brake line to repair my line on my Escort. I've heard that Volvo has used copper nickel (AKA CuNiFer) alloy lines on their cars since 1974 and that many Volvo mechanics have never had to replace a brake line. It doesn't break as easy as plain copper line, and while it isn't quite as tough as steel, it offers incredible corrosion resistance and is plenty tough for daily drivers, but not recommended for racing applications. Around here, we can get a 25 foot length for about $50.
How much is stainless line in comparison? No one carries it locally that I know of. Thoughts???
