I would strongly suggest NOT using them. The brake lines are to important to trust to something that can be ripped off with a stray branch. In most forms of racing they are not allowed because of their ease of tearing and if there's a fire, well you know the rest.

I agree with the no nylon brake lines unless they used as the inner liner of a braided SS line.
