It looks like you did a great job. I just replaced a brake line on a friends Dakota and used the same brake line you did. That stuff is so much easier to bend than the steel and supposedly it will not rust.

agree phil.. i am glad i use these.... lines from advance auto.. with the coupon code.. it was worth every cent spent

1x25ft roll is enough for the front left and right lines...
this is what i used for the front lines : NiCopp Nickel/Copper Brake Line Tubing Coil, 1/4" x 25'

and from the brake reservoir to the BCM, i used NiCopp Nickel/Copper Brake Line Tubing Coil, 5/16" x 25'
