[alfa] copper/nickel alloy brake lines

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Group:

Anyone ever worked with this stuff?

http://www.fedhillusa.com/pages/709975/index.htm

I just ordered a set of Goodridge stainless flex lines from Andy @ 
Performatek, but all the hard lines on my '87 Spider need replacement, 
too.  I've already got a set of pre-flared but unbent, plastic-coated, mild 
steel lines from Hurtienne, but this alloy stuff looked interesting.  It's 
impossible to replace the 2 lines on the firewall w/o removing the head 
from the engine (unless unions are used, which I did on my '74 Spider), and 
from what the website implies, replacement might be possible with these 
lines because of their increased flexibility.  FWIW, our '94 Volvo has 
these lines, as original, and they look to still be in perfect condition.

Regards,

Dean
