I actually built my own brake system for my drag car last winter without the use of a tubing bender, just my hands, something i was never able to do before with older stuff. Just an FYI.
Yeah, it does seem different. I remember brake line was zinc coated this stuff is painted. I will have to look online and see if I can get a high grade of steel tube, maybe even hardened.

For these cvds I just plan to cut and weld them. They should be just fine.
