Generalized information: Real natural rubber is used in braking systems. Real Rubber is vulcanized, but made from latex or similar natural or synthetic (but related) compounds. These are very stable in brake fluid. (made from Esters, and Polyethylene and or poly glycol based) They swell and deteriorate into a gel when exposed to hydrocarbons.
All agricultural and industrial hydraulic hoses are made from synthetic materials such as butyl and neoprene. They resist the decomposition from fuels and mineral oils. Jim

Brake lines have to withstand much-much higher pressure. The brake pedal on your vehicle is just a lever to activate the master cylinder. What ever pressure you apply to the pedal is multiplied by the length of the pedal's arm to its fulcrum point, then the pressure is multiplied within the hydraulic brake system itself by the size difference of the master-cylinder bore versus wheel cylinder bore. Basically the difference in square inches of cylinders. You won't find any shop that will make up rubber brake lines. There is too much liability involved.
