| 3/16 brake line with pvc coating?
i've decided to give brazing a try. got my torch and have a exo cage on my scaler i want to change up. but the only brake tubing at my local auto parts store has a coating on it. i'm sure i can grind off the coating at the points i want to braze together but is this what other people are using? should i avoid it and find brake tubing elsewhere? recommendations?

The coated stuff is what I use, mostly for links but I have brazed with it. You can put a section of it in a drill and spin it with sand paper wrapped around it to remove the coating. Last edited by transambill; 01-14-2012 at 12:28 PM. |

| Re: 3/16 brake line with pvc coating? This stuff is still my favorite. It costs more, but works much better and it's stronger. Metal Tube | MSCDirect.com |

My local O'Rileys sells brake line with no coating. If you have one near you you might try there too.
