Standard steel brake line, available in standard generic lengths from places like NAPA, is very easy to route down the center of the car and easy to tuck up between the frame and body for the length of the car. I used 2 seperate pieces and a coupler. When I replaced my plastic line, Isimply left the original in place. Fittings to adapt to both the clutch master cyl and the slave are readily available for about a couple of bucks each. Feel is improved. From a practical point of view, I don't see the need to go with braided or stainless for that matter. But again, just my opinion. Total cost since I did it myself was about $20.00. Hardest part was getting to and bleeding the slave. Jim 6147
