are copper lines legal in Aust? and or safe/recommended?

our cars all had steel lines yeah?

just asking as I need to remake the front brake pipes - mainly the one that goes left/right under the grill...

any tips on where to buy all the little unions, a good bender and flaring tools from?

cheers

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?
