automotive brake line, 3/16 and 1/4 are most popular, you can get it at any parts store

Why even mess with flex line? Hard line runs about a dollar/ft, so the savings is minimal, and the quality is much lower.

That roll is useless, I drive the auto parts places crazy cause they bring me crap from the back thats all kinked up and I keep sending them back for more. How hard is a "straight" peice to find???

Yes, brake line is what we all use. There is a type that is coated, it looks black. I would steer clear of it, no telling what that coating will do when heated up.
