what do you think
I don't know alot about fiberglass, but I'm sure what ever you do would be better than what is on the market. Keep in mind the hood springs are designed for a heavy hood. I've seen people add links of chain to the spring to reduce the stress on the hood. There's got to be a better way than using links of chain.

Alan have you heard or used the cunifer brake lines before?
Someone else has mentioned that type of brake line in this thread. To answer your question, no I haven't messed with them at all. I might try them someday. For this one I will be using SS. I might regret it. Thanks
