Steel Braided Brake Lines

[Ameer Antar]

What about covering them       with plastic tubing, like heat shrink? Won't
look as cool, but you could       probably get it completely sealed, esp. with
a little silicone at the       ends. Pretty sure you can get clear heat shrink
at a good electrical       supply shop.
