hard line info

Can anybody tell me the details I need to know to run hard lines on my airbag system? What type of fittings do you use for hardlines? Would the fittings be different if I went with steel vs stainless? Do you use thread sealer with hardlines? Where can I get the lines? Would it be better to find a place that carries straight runs vs a roll? And if anybody has pictures, that would be great.

Re: hard line info

A buddy of mine ran brake line for the air system on his truck. I will check with him to see if he did anything special with the fittings.

Re: hard line info

Does hardline and/or fittings in an airbag system need to be stainless?
