Hi 06,

Yeah, please let us know how that goes. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on brake and fuel line kits.........not sure if I want to order one steel set of each from Midwest/VPW/Adirondack and use as a pattern to make them out of stainless or nicop.........or send them out to be made. Guess I need to see what's in each kit. I couldn't find the line armor (spring) on the site, anybody know if they sell that in nicop?

regards,
bob

Why not use stainless steel wound armor?

HI Elmwood,

Yup.........sure could. I just expected them to also sell the armor if they sold lines to DIYers, but couldn'the find it on their site.

Fedhill didn't offer the armor, I had to buy it separately.(SS)
