Curious of anyone here has ordered brake line from an on-line store called The Stop Shop. Here is link to the product.

To answer your question...NO! But that is GOOD, properly rated tubing made to withstand brake system pressures. It bends easily, double flares easily, and is even used in several new European automobiles, including Volvos. DD

Yep. Set on using Cooper Nickel, but I've been reading some it is mislabeled or misrepresented and just cheap junk.

Like to do it once.

Yes, I have, I brought into NZ rolls of their cupro-nickel brake tubing, stainless armour and stainless nuts. All have performed perfectly.

Thank you. Great news. Ordering up tonight. Brake lines this week-fingers crossed.

Just clicked on the link in your original post. That is the exact kit[s] I bought. Enough in that 25 foot roll to do an entire [1935] Ford with a bit left over....and as Coopman says, it works nicely. You'll like it.

I flared and bent all the lines for my A project from copper nickel. I had done some lines in steel before and the copper nickel was really enjoyable to work with in comparison! I'm hoping that this will be the year it all goes together.
