Ok, what brake pipe do peeps recommend.
Copper or Kunifer/cupro nickle.
Fittings
Brass, zinc plated or Stainless

Cunifer on mine, no idea about the fittings. Probably not stainless steel, for the I paid. I had them made for me at the local motor factors, took the old ones as template.

Banshee used cunifer on his I believe but he said it is hard to work with due to it actually being harder

This was an interesting read. KUNIFER is the way forward.

Nought wrong with copper. will outlast your motor if fitted now, and is easy to form, for what it is worth, Rick
