i know this is a personal preference thing but i not sure of which one to go with. the stainless or the steel line. this will go on my 68 vert. how long do steel lines keep looking good for a car parked indoors and not driven much?

thanks

After 3 years, my reg steel ones look new. They relaced my 32 year old (at the time ) lines.

Regular TBW steel lines will probably only last about 60 years under those conditions graemlins/thumbsup.gif

You'll be happy with the steel lines.

I installed rear end stainless steel lines, when I did the rear end detailing. Didn't wanted to worry about them, at least for the next 90 years. :D

Seems some people have trouble getting stainless to seal well, and they're hard to flare if you have to make connections.

Steel. That way you can buy fittings at any parts store if you ever have a problem. Since they use the double flare end.

Stainless takes a 37* single flare, and aftermarket connection fittings.

i have stainless lines with a double flare on my car now, that i bought from Rick's.

I like steel lines.

I can bend them myself if I need a replacement. They cost about $1 per foot. I can double flare the ends and they seal easy (when compared to stainless). They will last longer than I will.

What else do you need? :cool:

If its on the ends of my tubes, somebody can make the flare. I have a place local to me who can more then likely flare stainless.
