[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 602029, member: 14679"] I'd probably use it on my own car, but I wouldn't recommend other people do. Does that make sense? This is a bit dramatic, and is unlikely to happen, but it is possible, technically & legally. If you use copper brake lines on your car, and they crack, you lose brake pressure and crash into someone- you could end up without insurance. It's a non-oe modification, which has not been bought into by any of the standards which control brake pipes. MOT testers won't care as long as it's functional at time of test. They're not engineers, they're mechanics following a set of rules. Nothing wrong with that, but they can't & won't guarantee safety on a non-original modification. [/QUOTE]
