fuel lines/ brake lines

[JohnnyO]

I love the beer sitting on the table in the last video. Garage warrior!

[GILDIA]

Does anybody know the diameter on the brake lines? Can I use stainless steel or do I need a special marterial? I plan to do it in Dec or Jan, but since I live down in Mexico its harder to get all the things. I still have to order the tube cutter, the tube bender and the kit for the double flare

Can you guys help me out in this predicament

This seller ships world wide and can get the lines also, but you

will need to bend them.
