I used an In Line tube set and happy. Mild steel. I did modify it for an added prop valve. I prefer mild steel as it seals better and can be successfully modified with a common double flare tool.

Do you need it fixed before the trip? If so, replace the rough sections with hand bent tube. I use a 20' roll from Autozone + necessary fittings for spot repairs when needed.

A second vote for mild steel. Stainless can be a big PIA.

Thanks; I'll see what they have at the Indy swap meet and if not I'll most likely get everything from Dr Diff

In Line or Fine Lines, I have had good luck with both. I agree on mild steel, much easier to deal with and avoid leaks.
