and I do not think that a braking system reaches these pressures and I would not use it if I thought for one seconed it was`nt safe.
I understand it's not just plain copper. Looking at your pictures it sure looks like plain copper but I understand it's not.

Real nice resto you are doing. I also have a Triumph and pick up British car mags once in a while. I've seen that brake line for sale and always wondered how you got away with it, now I know the rest of the story.
Nice job great color as well.

I think Ive put my point across Dennis about the copper +NICKEL brake pipes that they are safe.
What Triumph have you got? I`ve had 2 Triumphs in my time, nice cars but over here they rot very quickly, not many about now, you see the odd one at classic shows.
Thanks for the comments on my truck and I love the colour as well.

We don't have that tubing here. We became alarmed because the only tubing that looks like that here is soft pure copper meant for water piping.

Yes I understand your concerns but believe me it is totally safe and it is a very thick pipe with a small bore and prettier than steel lol

Looks great! I might have to get some of that tubing for one of my projects. It looks so nice polished out.

Kevin if you have any trouble getting it I could get it for you and send it over, we would have to sort money out before, but it would not be a problem getting you some,
