I am looking to start doing the brake lines on my crew cab soon, and well, I am tired of laying under trucks working on brake lines. So I am looking into stainless lines. I have found the 304 stainless brake tubing on several sites. Then I got the idea to see what McMaster-Carr has for stainless tubing. I found this,
Also known as "as welded" tubing, this tubing has a weld bead on the ID—choose it as an economical alternative in applications that don't require the smooth interior of seamless or welded and drawn tubing. This tubing has a Rockwell hardness of B90. Use with water, deionized water, air, natural gas, oil, and hydraulic oil. Meets ASTM A269. Tubing can be sterilized with chemicals. Wall thickness can give pressure ratings of 2500 or 3500 psi @ 72*F
50' roll of 304 stainless in 1/4"od is $60.66 with a 3500 PSI max at 72*F.
Am I just being a cheap a$$??
Well plan failed. I need 3/16" line not 1/4"
