I have a friend with a crazy idea of replacing every single brake line with braided SS lines. The problem being is that up here they use so much salt he's tired of replacing brake lines. Can you even buy a reel of braided line and put your own ends on it? I would think the pressures they see would mean the ends would be put on with some machine and not a hand crimp tool or what not.

i dont know what they are called, but they have some fittings thats 2 piece. screw on piece onto the hose then screw the other into the the one you just put on, well it screws into the hose , but its inside the piece you installed before. Will NOT come loose until you unscrew the fitting from its self

I don't think you can buy "hose ends" that small... I think -4 is the smallest hose end you can buy... I may be wrong.

You don't want to change hard lines for soft lines. The more soft lines you have, the sponger the brakes will be.

Im replacing all my brakelines this summer with stainless, even if I have to bend my own. My trucks about 9 years old and Im still on the original brake lines

I have started using the coated brake lines from autozone. It is a cheap solution, its the same price as the cheap lines from all the other parts houses. I don't know if they have them at all autozones. It seems to have cut down the amount of brakes lines I have been replacing, to date, not having to redo one with them. I bend all my own lines, I have gotten pretty handy at it.
