I know that you're not suggesting the use of pure copper, but just to make sure no one
misinterprets anything or accidentally gets the wrong alloy, copper tubing should NEVER be
used for brake lines under ANY circumstances!!! It simply does not have the
tensile/bursting strength to handle the pressures involved. Period. It is also so
malleable that a flare could actually be squeezed through a fitting under high pressure.
One should ONLY use approved brake line material. I think you'd agree.
