Re: pre-bent stainless steel or pre-bent non-ss brake lines?
Get the stainless lines.
BTW Stainless Steel WILL 'RUST'. Stainless is attacked by halide salts
(the stuff used to melt snow on roads). Stainless also needs a constant
supply of fresh oxygen to keep its surface from rusting/corroding.
Internal to the lines there is NO means to supply the constant oxygen;
hence, any water that eventually gets into the lines will promote 'rust'
and corrosion. Stainless also is very vulnerable to 'crevice corrosion',
a severe form of corrosion that forms in the roots of threads of
screws/bolts etc., ... joints or anywhere stainless mechanically (not
welded) touches another piece of stainless and becomes wetted ... the
corrosion will penetrate into the microscopic grains of material and
eventually 'cut' the part .... so if you choose stainless use as few
'joints' or threaded connections as possible. Common stainless does
last longer but with halide corrosion and in places where it becomes
wetted and becomes oxygen starved eventually catastrophically destroys
itself .... it just takes a little longer to degrade than carbon steel.
Just minimize the number of 'joints'. Is your TIME worth it?

Re: pre-bent stainless steel or pre-bent non-ss brake lines?
I bought the stainless lines from these people for a non-Jeep truck project,
and after 4 years there is not a hint of any type of corrosion. I also used
the stainless fuel lines as well. They still look like the day I installed
them. I believe at the time the brake lines were about $40 more for the
stainless. To me this is a no brainer.

Re: pre-bent stainless steel or pre-bent non-ss brake lines?
Also, unless you have a bender, get the pre-bent type. If you kink one while
bending it yourself, it is toast.

Re: pre-bent stainless steel or pre-bent non-ss brake lines?
What I'd like to know is, why does everyone offer pre-bent lines for
CJ's but not YJ's? I have a '93 YJ and would like to replace the
lines with pre-bent if possible.
Also, in case I have to actually bend my own, does anyone know offhand
what size tube I need? The lines I have now are pretty rusty, so I
don't really trust my measurements. I'm thinking they are 3/16, but I
could be wrong.

CJ's but not YJ's? I have a '93 YJ and would like to replace the
lines with pre-bent if possible.
Also, in case I have to actually bend my own, does anyone know offhand
what size tube I need? The lines I have now are pretty rusty, so I
don't really trust my measurements. I'm thinking they are 3/16, but I
could be wrong.
Thanks
Tony

Re: pre-bent stainless steel or pre-bent non-ss brake lines?
They are 3/16" in my TJ, likely in your YJ too.
