The “copper/nickel” BMW brake lines you mentioned are stainless steel ,, those are the two ingredients you add to steel to make stainless.

Nope. They are copper and nickel. No steel in them.

Where did you get that copper nickel stuff? Expensive?

Expedition Imports, in Vacaville, CA. Must not have been horribly expensive, or I would have remembered.

McMaster-Carr prices today: 1/4” .035 wall stainless - $2.29 per foot, 1/4” .035 wall steel - $5.50 per foot.

Both are seamed/welded tube.
