What can you tell me about Cunifer ( copper-nickel-steel) brake tubing? Been reading and it seems to be the cats meow for ease of working and since Volvo's been using it since 1976 it must be safe. The customer supplied stainless on one of the last jobs has done in my pricey Fedhill flaring rig so something that's easy to work but corrosion resistant sounds good. Thank you;
Cunifer10 tube. You can read my thread on this issue. Volker has a lot of information to and installed the Cunifer brake lines under his truck. You could ask him how they work ? I have been having some cunifer10 tube peaces lying in brake/hydraulic liquid for allmost a month now and nothing has happened , they still look the same to me ! The chemicals have not infected there structure , hardness or strainth jet. I`ll keep them there fore one more month and we will see what the outcome will be ? Cunifer10 is TUV aproved in Europe and that means the industry uses them for different industrial purposes ! N.B. This is not copper pipe !!!!!!!!!!!
Evan, The brake line I bought from Napa #813-1235 5/16 x 60 has a copper linning on the inside of the tubing, when you cut it shows up. Can they be using a similar metal make up as the product you are speaking of?
Kunifer Although copper brake line is still available over here the majority of aftermarket and some manufacturers use Kunifer line now, the ones who use copper do it mainly because it looks nice when polished. Bit stupid I know but nowt as queer as folk. Kunifer has major advantages in strength and corrosion resistance and is easier to form than steel or stainless, with stainless you tend to get a reaction between the steel fittings and the pipe when moisture gets to it so it looks great until you drive it. Kunifer can be polished if you want it to look good and it has a nickel colouring to it when done rather than copper colour, i think copper will be banned soon over here, it is potentially dangerous to be honest. The only problem with Kunifer is it bends almost as easy as copper but acts like stainless when you try to correct a mistake, not easy!
NAPA store NAPA store Intresting discovery , maybe commen EU standards allready have invaded US car parts securety standards without you guys knowing it (scary aint ) , or could it be an import article from China (even more scary ) ? There must be spesifications on the package or maybe ask your locall NAPA store?
Wearing a Blockheater ? I went to Galgary on a trip some years ago and talked to a lot of forrestry guys and indians outside the liquir-store. An olderly but bit a rough guy told me the Germans named the squire cap for "Blockheater" ? Is the avatar you have waring one or is it a Davy Crocket hat ?
CuNiFer I can't say negative things about my new Kunifer brake lines. And my safety inspector said to me - it's perfect and gave me your sign. Yesterday i took my truck out of the garage and start to a test drive. With my new brake system with power brake booster it's a new feeling to drive. i need power to press the pedal before now it's enough to use the brake pedal with the fingertip and the truck stops immediately. A save feeling. all brake lines are free of leaks and the fittings also. very simple to work with it. If everyone need the Kunifer brake lines, send me a PM and i will buy and send it to him.
The Griz is the cartoon mascot at my "home" ski resort. I have only heard that kind of hat referred to as Coon Skin (coon as in racoon). Davey Crocket the man may or may not have worn one. Davey Crocket the Walt Disney character wore something like it anyway. (Walt Disney: patron saint of plagiarism)
Kunifer10 brakelines ? Hey Volker Wanna now if your residual valves where installed and yes i am intrested in Cunifer10 brakelines and brass coplings/flanges. But i would like you to send the parts to an adres in Holland. In a cople of weeks i have to go to a funaral in Holland and could take them lines back with me then to Norway. Is that posseble to manage ? What is the price by the way in Euro ? Martinius.
Thanks everyone, Fedhill USA sells 25' rolls for $55. There is a place in the UK that sells a 25' roll for 9 pounds but shipping would eat up any saving. Do computers in the UK have a pound key like ours have the $ key?
Mistakes When I say mistakes I mean when bending the brake lines, if you get a bend wrong it's very hard to make it look like you ain't tried to correct it, you end up with a pipe with a 90 bend in it but just before the bend starts you have a slight bow in the pipe where you tried to straighten out the pipe where you started the 90 too early if you catch my drift, simply put, if you do a bend it's nearly impossible to straighten the pipe back out after, it never quite goes straight
