[Healeys] Steel Fuel line (pipe) replacement suggestion

[john spaur]

Hi Tom,

This may work for a fuel line but it would be a very bad idea for a brake line.

I am not a metallurgist but copper will work harden (from vibrations 
and working it by hand or tools) and become brittle after time to a 
point where it will fail. Take a piece of tubing and flex it 
repeatedly and it will become very stiff.

John
