Hi All,
I must replace 2 major brake lines in my '99 Acura TL due to corrosion (water and salt over the years) resulting in a blow-out. Although I will be doing this on my drive and will wait till warmer weather, I was also considering and evaluating my Healey's lines and would be purchasing enough line for possibly both jobs.
Knowing little about brake line, I noticed a number of compounds being advertised. Although the standard steel line is lowest in price, it seems most difficult to bend and flare. Another that seems to be promising is NiCapp, a Nickel/Copper compound that is advertised to be 58% easier then steel to bend and flare and will not rust or corrode.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to which brake line compound to do either or both jobs.
Thanks,
