Hello, I am rebuilding my Gear (New WOLF Whittman style) and need to replace the old brake lines. I just put on some Nylon lines with fittings, but already have a small leak where one of the lines go into the elbow fitting.. (Its slightly crooked i've found).. SO I can fix it pretty easily, but what better options are there? Is Steel braided better, but heavier? The old rubber lines? Steel tubing running down the leg? The Nylon are strong and light, but just seems like maybe down the road they will get brittle? My hangar mates say the nylon is great.. Any input is greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Greg
