Brake line tubing is thin-walled mild steel, so it won't survive a 30 foot drop, but adding some "X" bracing should be rigid enough to withstand normal use. The silver solder joints are actually stronger than the tubing. If the joints holding are your concern, you should be fine. I'm fairly new to brazing, but from what I've seen the tubing will bend before the joints break.

Well i'm not planning to use brake line. I don't think they have 1/4" or 3/8" brake line out there. I'm gonna use regular steel tubing.

Just as an example:

1/8" to 1/2", it even comes in stainless.

Think the parts store will have thicker diameter brake lines?
