I would think that if the inside diameter is the same then there shouldn't be any problem with using stainless brake lines. How would SST put more wear and tear on my master cylinder if the ID is the same? Did i miss something here? Eric, would you mind giving me us some clues on how to make our busses stop on a dime (with change :-). I have changed my fluid and bled the brakes many times but it is all the same to me. (new master cylinder 40K ago). Thanks matthew 84 wolfsy 67 bug 90 Masi Team 3V
