What's the smallest ID hard line that would be appropriate for the brake line 
runs from the pedals to the wheel wells?  I have some 1/8" versatube that I 
bought for this purpose way back when, but I'm afraid that #1 its working 
pressure is too low and #2 the .069ID may simply be too small to allow the 
brakes to respond to pedal inputs quickly enough.  There's hardly any weight 
increase going to 3/16od, .135id, so that would be ok by me.  Also, instead of 
the versatube (3003) would it make more sense to use 5052?  Stainless for the 
interior runs seems like way overkill.  Thoughts or comments?
