I have the shroud finished and I now need to route the oil lines back to the engine compartment. What material are the hard lines made of? Here are a few pictures of the lines in question.

Where can these lines be found, or do they have to be fabricated? Is there an easier way like running braided line instead of hard lines?

Thanks,
Bob

I think those are copper.

I'm very interested in using this method on my car.
The cost of -12 SS line is around $10 per foot.

The coppers line are cheap.
As long as they don't bang on the metal of the tub or rub where they enter/exit the car I don't see how they can wear out.
Tremendous heat transfer, naturally. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
