Was looking at upgrading to 8AN (1/2) when I do the tank, but options seem limited in that size as far as mild steel is concerned, stainless appears to be too much of a pain and expensive to get tools to properly flare, which leaves us with flex line...stainless braided? nylon braided (no abrasion resistance)? rubber, ptfe? Too many options!
I used a blazer line then cut it in half and hooked the front up then the rear section. Ended up with 13 in gap in the middle. Sent the lines back to inline tube where they put nuts on the cut ends and flared them. They also made me a 13in long line and sent me 2 couplers to hook it up.
