Howard, Are you planning to put the truck on the road?
I don't know your laws, but over here we are not allowed to use copper brake lines any more. It might pay to check. The truck is looking great! ![]()

No issues with copper brake lines in the UK. It seems Australia and NZ authorities don't like the idea, but copper has been used for many years and I have never experienced a problem in 49 years of vehicle work. Different matter with steel though, seen plenty of rusted ones fail, from the inside too. For interest; http://www.automec.co.uk/collections...pe-coil-copper

As you know though Richard, copper work hardens and can crack, if not properly supported. I guess the difference between the two countries is that we don't salt our roads.
Anyhow good to hear that Howard doesn't have to back track.

Lynn, you can now buy American made copper brake line tube that is specially made for brake lines, it is all proofed and marked as such, so gone are the days of using refrigeration tubing, it is of course a little more expensive, but made for the job and accepted for WOF.
