The copper brake lines currently available in the UK are actually an alloy of copper and something - maybe it's nickel . It isn't straight copper anyway.

The WW2 Morris' here have factory copper brake pipes with strange single flared ends .. never seen anything like it.

As I mentioned, it is CuNiFer: mostly copper with some nickel and steel. I don´t know of any other material in use today here in Europe. . .
