Dear John, Plain i.e. solid stainless steel work-hardens like copper and would be prone to fail. If it isn't illegal it should be. I'm sure the braided-s/s covered lines are fine. Yours, D -- who had an (unsuspected) copper line abruptly separate in his loaded F-500 milk truck (single brake system, of course, no redundancy) at the top of a hill, and has gained from that experience a healthy respect. At least when ours fail we have something left, though I still think Saab's double-diagonal system is better. |
