I used s/s braided fuel/oil lines with the engine upgrade but I used the aluminium fittings with no problems.

just make sure that when you cut it that you put some masking tape over the cut line, then use a fine hi-speed cutter ( i use a Dremel at 20~30000rpm) and there should be little fraying etc.. If you do it right it will be cool forever.
