    If anyone has any links or knows where I can get the same kind of kit made from a better material that would be great! If not I guess copper will have to do!

    I refuse to use copper for brake lines, no exceptions. CuproNickel won't kink (unless you're a complete bellend), forms nicer, is many many times more resistant to impact or squashing than copper, doesn't get weak with age like copper and is still easily flared with cheap tools. For absolutely fc.uk all extra cost.

    Automec do custom lines I'm pretty sure.


    Louis, there must be an independent garage in the area willing to make pipes for you, surely?

    Tristan are the Automec kits copper-nickel?
    I’ve just realized I actually bought a kit for the 16v project and I still have it
