Save Weight on Brake Cables

Hi there,

Am looking for ways to push my 1982 8.0 kg bike to 7.8. Pretty much everything is done. The Superleggera seat would save me about 60 grams, the tyres will have to stay on the budget side.
Are there brake cable housings from aluminium or titanium? I couldn´t find much.

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers
Nuovo
