X2 with whunter!!! The genuine article will do the job. If SS was required then it would be used from new.
The SS isnt the issue, the flexible rubber hose inside it is more important. I would be concerned that in time if the SS wire fails from fatigue cracking (common with SS) it could puncture the inner & so cause brake failure. I think thats why, unlike most hydraulic hose, brake lines are not reinforced with wire as there is too much vibration & flexing.
