Its not the cubicle jockey engineer who makes the final decision. Its accounting.
So many of our designs and projects are very worth while, then it gets to the bean counters and they say "its too expensive, it needs to be less than ......." so designs get redone to be cheaper.
for ford its still cheaper to replace the lines then if they were stainless braided.
Stainless braided was probably 10 times the cost, so they can replace every line on every truck build 9 times before it becomes cost prohibitive.
