Question
rdnkcpa
I was wondering what the general consensus on Ni-Copp brake line material is. My left front caliper appears to be hanging up, so I'm going to attempt to rebuild it. And looking at the steel brakeline, as soon as I put a wrench on the steel fitting I think it is going to break the line. I also have a new brake hose on the way, just to eliminate the potential for them to collapse on the inside. I know it's faster and better to buy rebuilt calipers, but this is a learning experience, I want to take apart, inspect, clean, install new seals then reinstall. If the pistons are too screwed up, I'll buy a remaned set. I have the time and space, truck is not my DD, so I can tinker with it.
Anyway, like all Chevys from this vintage (2004), my brake lines look terrible. When researching brake lines, I stumbled across Ni-Copp brakelines, looks very tempting. They are a Copper, Nickel, Iron allow that is DOT approved. Easier to bend and will not corrode again.
Has anybody use the NI-Copp stuff, and if so are you happy with the results?
