            welding on aluminum ya have to TIG it, and if ya are good enough at welding to be doing TIG, you ought to know that already... just saying.

                            Oil feed line bent up from 2 F2T rear line segments. not the absolute cleanest yet as i could use more line to make better bends. but its functional !!! and sure beats stainless braid crap

                              Whats wrong with stainless braided line? Hardlines are a pain in the ass to bend, flare and sometimes don't seal correctly.

                                stainless braid is tacky, makes ur engine bay messy & is less durable.
                                theres no difference in sealing power either.
