      These are copper but my pal is somewhat of an expert in brake Lines! I like you manage to get them to work harden[emoji849]. He forms them all by hand even though he has a tool to bend them! This is the carnage that got cut off. Literally three off cuts from 2 rolls of new pipe!

        My pal is cracking at this stuff. I’ve had bikes and cars with braided lines and I’m not convinced apart from they look nice! The ends still rot!

              Mine were in the car when I got her. The work hardening came from vibration over months and years (and probably fitment as well) the fatigue point was between 2 different rent materials

                Bloody hell thats not good!! You live and learn as they say. I reckon if I’d blown on most of my old lines they’d have collapsed. Terrible condition.

                    Absolutely!!! But I’d drive my old stuff over the new any day. I guess replacing stuff has got out of hand a bit bit I figured do it now and she’ll be good for a while

                      Yup I don't like driving new stuff, and do it now and it's less likely to need as much work anytime soon.

                        That’s the theory! Fingers crossed it pays off eh. Just looking forward to cracking back into the inside again. Fitting my leisure battery and split charge kit first!
