what is the material of brake line on a dc2

 

Last time i checked OEM lines are rubber...aftermarket lines are typically stainless, don't know that I have ever seen aluminum brake lines.

-although this doesn't state what the lines are physically made of-

anyone else want to chime in???

 

The hard lines? They're mild steel. The soft lines are rubber.

Stainless steel aftermarket lines only replace the soft lines.

 

yeah i meant the hard line im doing a wire tuck and im trying to figure if the correct line to run through firewall is steel or stainless steel thers a big difference in price so i just want to know if they are both the same and its just that one looks better?

 

a magnet is your friend when trying to determine metals. it wouldnt stick to either the ss or aluminum. but the two look nothing alike.

 

come on lol

 

ok let me explain my question again i dont think i asked it correctly....im doing a brake line tuck and for instance i seen a 25 foot roll of steel seamless 3/16's brake line on ebay for 15 bucks plus shipping.....then the place i get my earls fittings from said 7 dollars a foot now im just trying to find out what the difference in the price could be to be that much per foot versus the line on ebay, im wondering if the line from this local place is a better type of steel or something? i mean im not trying to be cheap or anything if anything i just want to be guided the right direction without getting ripped off, this is my brake system and i want to make sure im using right material

 

your paying for the name with earls. im sure the line has to be made to a standard. get the roll.

 

If in doubt, you can always buy the line from summitracing. Their house brand is usually quality stuff. Will be cheaper than earls, but no quality concerns like you might have from ebay.
