I have a 1952 Chevy DeLuxe with the external add-on oil filtration system. It is mounted to the engine, and is plumbed using what appears to be 5/16" steel brake line.
One of the steel brake lines has developed a leak at a 90 degree bend. I would assume that the bend stressed the line, and some 50 years later, it has given up.
The existing lines are steel. Now, the material of choice at AAP/AZ/NAPA appears to be NiCopp, as that is what they stock.
Is there any issue with using NiCopp for an application like this? There shouldn't be any movement, as everything is mounted to the engine. The only issue would be with vibration from the engine itself.
