Default Re: braided lines

I think the reason is that corrosion weakens them much more than steel, possibly due to material being less tough than steel surface corrosion acts as a path for fracture?

I dunno, plated steel is alright but I wouldn't use ally.

I'd use a paint brush and dab some ACF-50 on them personally, just keep ACF away from the discs.
