Hey 1bjb, is that 3/16 solid the same size as 3/16 brake line? brake line is measuered from the inside hole, so how is the solid kind measured? but do you think brake line would make it that much weaker? sorry for the noob questions. also where did you get that stuff? i looked at a lot of hardware stores and nobody has any.

My stuff is all 3/16 brake line. These sliders have probably seen more abuse than any and have held up fine.   |
