Nope, not legal in Oz.. Any decent local brake place will have all the fittings you need. |

You can get cupro nickel brake pipes here, they are legal, don't rust and don't fatigue like copper does. |

Thanks Graham, that type of tube looks the go.. do i need special bending equipment or does it form by hand ok? also does that tube take a double flare? (Do i need a double flare? seems to be the go from a brief bit of looking around? |
