Is it possible to do this???? I'm wondering if it could be done to do the entire brake line system in braided steel versus hard line.... I"ve got leaks all over the place on my hardlines and i've had enough. I'm ready to install braided steel with AN fittings..... Is it possible???

It is possible to do but it does not work well. You don't want braided line everywhere. You at least want to keep hard lines for some of the longer pieces (side to side/front to back). From what I understand, when you have long sections of braided line, they flex (expand/contract) too much giving you a mushy pedal. At least that is what I was told a few years ago when I asked that question at a race shop.
