on brake lines,

1/8" tubing has an ID of .065", so particulates could be a problem (though I
really don't know....). my vote would be 3/16" which has an ID of .132" and
would also be more damage tolerant.

a thought, since you will need to go flex at the point where you connect to
the brake reservoirs and brakes anyway, why not just run flex all the way?
(you will need 3 lines and 4 connections for your design per brake) I ran
666-3 all the way. very easy and reasonable. you can see a picture of my
brakes lines at:
