Nickel/Copper brake/fuel lines are an excellent product. As other posted, it bends in a nice radius by hand, and you get good, tighter radius bends with a tubing bender. Because it is nickel/copper it also double flares easily.
NAPA and other auto parts stores carry it in bulk length and pre-made up lengths, flared with fittings.

It was originally developed & mfg. in Britain and has been used on high end cars like Aston Martin and Jag for years. It is widely copied and made by everyone, most out it overseas.

I get my NI/Cop from Federal Hill here in MA. They carry the original English "Cunifer" product and very good quality fittings. They also sell and rent high end bending and flaring tools. Their 1/4" tubing, (Early Ford size), is exactly .250 OD.
