Thanks for the confirmation about the bad advice of using a compression union. I did not think of it or consider it until I saw a video on YouTube of a guy promoting the idea. He seems kind of shady and I was wondering.

I stopped at my local NAPA store and asked about brake lines. They sell one that is a nickel/something alloy but it is about $2.50 per foot as opposed to $1.00 per foot for steel. I asked about metric fittings and he said that it would come flared and with the fittings I need. I would just need to bend it.

I just need to figure out how to get to the clamp that sits right behind the engine.
