brake lines

Can anyone comment on making the front brake lines with stainless steel braided hoses? I dont want to use hard lines for th3 front. Are they safe for a weekend warrior.
Has anyone done this or is it nor recommended.

I wouldn't do it. It'll make the brakes spongy. Use as little braided hose as possible. Why don't you wanna do hard line?

I want to use an fittings because I have had to take the engine out a few times and hard kine fittings are so soft they dont seal right after a few times.
Also bc its easier to put together for me.

You can use an fittings on hard line. Just need to a 37 degree flare tool. Reroute the line out of the way. You should not have to break the brake line to remove the motor...
