Steve, This is not a new idea, prior to the introduction of the braided line we used steel tubing to replace the plastic line. The stainless steel replacement is superior to the steel line for the following reasons. The stainless steel product is aircraft quality and is actually stronger than steel tubing. It has better resistance to crushing and bending than steel tubing and is much easier to install. Don't let this information deter you; keep the creative juices flowing.

Instead of installing a SS braided clutch line for the entire length of the car, couldn't you run a length of steel tubing (same tubing used for the brakes) along the chassis?
