I have a Sunbeam Alpine which I rebuilt in the UK using copper brake clutch
and fuel lines which is common in the UK. I am now living in the US and
recently exported the car. I have been advised to change my brake lines for
reasons already mentioned on the list to stainless steel. Does anyone know
of a good source for stainless steel brake pipes?
Also I have never heard of a story where the copper brake lines have failed,
does anyone out there have a story to tell?
Thanks
