In Australia (not sure about the rest of the world) you are not allowed to
use copper pipe on brake lines. I used a coated steel line which is ok (that
may be called Kunifer (?) -I think it was a light copper coating to prevent
corrosion)

Subject: [Healeys] Diff, brake pipe material
Hi,
First of all, thanks for the differential recondition tips. I will take my
bet, and report my failure/success.
Now I have another question.
On the cars I have built recently, there were no alloy parts in the brake
system, soo I have used copper piping with confidence. Unfortunatly the
Healey is not that type, as the rear brake cylinder housings are made of
alloy. Soo I would not like to use copper to prevent electric corrosion.
What to use then? Is Kunifer a good substitution, or it has the same
behaviour as copper? Only steel is good?
Gergo
