[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 602002, member: 14679"] Copper isn't used on production vehicles, due to the work hardening issue. This is more of a problem for vehicles with ABS, due to the pulsing effect that can cause on the pipes. However, it does mean that the standards controlling these brake pipes- DIN 74234 & ISO 4038- only relate to steel double-walled (bundy) pipe, and Cunifer pipe. Using anything else is TECHNICALLY deviating from design (OE was bundy tube, probably to SAE J527), and if this work hardneing does occur and causes trouble, you'll have nobody to blame but yourself ;-) [/QUOTE]
