I'm in total agreement with John, but I will add that Cunifer does not
suffer from work hardening in the way that Copper for instance does. Few
people here in the UK seem to use steel brake pipes during a rebuild
(other than for concours) - the Cunifer is maintenance free, and is a
dull enough colour not to look out of place.
I hope this is of some interest,
Bill.
