Taking a recent thread in a slightly different direction...

I agree that pure copper is a really bad choice for brake lines... the
first link below is from copper.org, and talks about a 90/10 copper-nickel
alloy for brake tubing (if copper.org isn't advocating pure copper, then it
must be a bad idea). The second link is from an outfit that makes these
alloy lines.

Do any of the listees out there have any experience (good or bad) with this
alloy on any vehicle? I'm about to perform a total brake-line transplant on
my westie, and lines that don't rust are really appealing... but I'd like
to find out if anyone has real-world experience with this, or any other
rust-free solution for brake lines.

Thanks,

Tim
