Steel tubing for FEL build? (hyd lines)

[Freakingstang]

As I am nearing completion on my loader fab, I am looking into hydraulics. I would like to run metal lines and just use hoses for the cylinders for a clean appearance.

What kind of 3/8 tubing should I use?? I was first thinking brake line in bulk, but then double flaring all the lines and then all the adapter fittings and tees to NPT might just end up being a PITA.

What are some other options for tubing...I know I'm not the only one thats ever attempted to build a FEL.

Thanks
Steve

Don't believe the brake line tubing will handle the psi.

Ask your hyd shop for the correct tubing and what they charge to bend and fit.
