Copper brake lines are illegal in some states. Copper being a very soft metal, *could* fail if snagged or bust under extreme pressure. Copper/nickle brake pipes would be my choice or the aluminum/steel compounds that resist rust and are still soft enough to bend and flare. Copper is probably fine but think about a panic stop, you slam on the brake pedal and possibly pop a brake pipe. Just a thought. -- Frank Clarici Toms River, NJ Just Enough Sprites Again http://www.exit109.com/~spritenut |
