Fred, The Beringer brake fluid line is a much better item than the
standard Europa tubing. It has an external stainless steel woven sheath.
I have known the standard brake line to have been cut through when a
mono was tied down in windy conditions with a rope round the starboard
side of the U/C fork (mistake - should have put it on the port side!). I
have 82" surplus if that would be enough for you, having run mine the
short route from the conventional position.

that explained that you can easily retap the brake caliper to 1/8" NPT.

I replaced it with a stainless steel line and have had no problems.
