I have a source for both the SST tubing and the fittings. I use it almost daily. We dont' use flare fittings they are all ferrel fittings but I can get hundreds of different configurations including thru panel fittings. The tubing is rated well over 5K psi so no issue there. It is SST so no corrosion and very stiff so it bends into very pretty install. Basically I was talking about using it because it is something I work with everyday and have the tools to work with it. It would be way overkill for the job. My one and only concern is if the actual brake components come with threaded fittings I could replace with the ferrel fittings so I don't have to adapt. Likewise for the flex hose I was thinking SST braded Teflon coated hydraulic lines.


You guys have to understand oilfield mentality. We overbuild everything but then considering how rough the conditions you can understand......
