Re: copper brake lines

[ejd@iris.brown.edu]

Chris Kent makes a good point about whether copper has a high enough burst 
strength
for brakes, and I have an additional opint of concern: While I've seen mention
of copper brakelines in British mags, all of the advice I've seen Stateside is 
that
copper is especially unsuitable for brake & fuel line due to it's propensity
for work-hardening and thus snapping at the wrong moment.

Any help on this?
