You already know that compression fittings are not safe for brake
lines -- are you asking us to tell you "go anead and use them
anyway?"  Because we're not going to.

As someone who's had an improper (copper, actually) brake line fail
in my milk truck at the top of a hill I can say a) it's downright
scary and b) suicide is in some sense your own business, but the
health of your riders and of nearby people and property is definitely not.

Cheers,
