those look like regular stainless hard lines. I used brakelines for oil and coolant for my TT kit, it worked out fine

LOL that sounds like a good idea to use brake lins .

Everybody knows stealthmode oil fittings break if you torque them to 13 lb :1

Dude, buying 6 of them with the copper tubing could almost buy you the stainless line. Brake lines work just fine even with the heat. A local auto store told me they are pretty normal for that use.

Sorry man I put the eye roll in the wrong place . I was to say that the people saying the stealthmode fitting were bad.....brake lines should work great. they can take some heat and get plenty of fitting for them.
The lines in the pic I posted are copper though thats what the guy on ht said . I would think that a copper fitting or line wouldn't like the heat and vibration from a high reving engine and break over time though.

really fuel line would work good to.

Re: copper oil lines, anyone thought of this??

brake fluid i would think gets just as hot as motor oil, its running through a brake caliper that takes tons of heat and brake fluid has to last alot longer then oil and is mor corrosive, so it should work the same if not better..just not as pretty or conveinent
