Just cut and paste this from another message board I hang out on. Thought it might come in handy for someone.

AGS, that is known for making Ni-Copp brake lines. I had them fabricate brake lines that is easily bendable (just don't bend 90 degrees) and saves a bunch of time and money.

If you need hard brake lines give AGS a holler, They will not disappoint!
I have success with Ni-copp on my other vehicles. Been installed on my Avalanche for 5 years and no issues at all with the Ni-copp.

Direct fit? Or just supplies so you can make it yourself?

 

Not sure, but you can probably use the email to inquire. I just know a lot of guys around here have issues with hard brake lines, thought I'd toss this out.

 

Let me rephrase. Did you buy finished, pre-bent lines that are a direct fit?

 

I have no need for brake lines, didn't buy anything. It was a recommendation from a guy on another board. I did ask him if they can custom manufacturer to spec. waiting for a reply.

 

His reply

"They can fabricate to spec, given you give them specs. In my case, I was not 100% sure. I was able to obtain O.E lines. I mailed them to Dan & he fabricated the new ones based on what I provided. Contact Dan @ AGS, his contact info is in my first post."

 

You can get the NiCu material from any number of sources. Not saying this particular source is any better or worse than any other, just, it's a widely available material.

It's well suited to brake lines: VERY easy to bend, doesn't tend to crimp when you bend it like steel, highly corrosion resistant in an automotive situation, easy to flare at the ends, resistant to cracking. A good material all-around for the application. It eliminates, to some extent, the need for pre-fabbed lines, because it makes it so much easier to fab em yourself.

 

i agree 100%... i used this on my last project and fabricated all the brake lines front to back. in my opinion much better than stainless which i have had trouble getting good reliable seals as the flares are so hard they have trouble sealing. i didn't have one weep on any of my fittings with this material and you can literally wrap it around a socket, etc to form arcs, etc
