Hi Michael
I guess you could, but they would be extra weight, your 37 degree flanger
may not be up to dealing with steel, and you may induce corrosion problems
where the steel touches the ali structure.
I'd stick with ali lines .

I'd just use whatever came with the kit. Mine says SAE 30R7 fuel line
and is 5/16" inside dia. but I'm not positive that actually came with my
kit. I would not use this for hot transmission fluid but I think it is
acceptable for cool automatic transmission fluid which I consider less
aggressive than fuel. If you wanted it, 5/16" transmission hose is
available from an auto parts suppliers or even from crappy tire and it
will be labelled as "transmission" hose. At least $4. per foot.
If I used aluminum tubing I'd probably look for 1/4" x 0.035" wall
thickness in 5052 material. Between the gear movement and also the
caliper movement I just used the parkerflex for now which I know can
take the movement. If I upgraded I'd probably look at armoured 3/16
teflon brake hose from Pegasus Racing or Summit Racing in one piece all
the way from the master cylinder to the brake caliper but that has
connector issues as well.

There was some black rubber hose provided (5/16" id fuel hose I believe)
and some 45 degree brass fittings for the top of the master cylinders.
The brass fittings for the wheel cylinders are common 1/8 npt thread and
mine went in at least three turns - enough that I thought it was a
normal fit. I used teflon paste on the threads, not teflon tape, and I
used upgraded JDM wheel cylinders and wheels.
I think there was a sketch of the brake connections with the brake kit
but I'm not certain.

hi all
if using the stock murphy white brake fluid reservoir, how is everyone
then
connecting this to the rest of the system, what type of tubing is used as
the small white nyloflo wont connect to main reservoir, assume some sort
of
brass fitting is needed to change tubing ??
perhaps if i can get all this info can post a drawing of typical brake
system with parts lists
