[Spridgets] brake lines

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

In the UK, the rigid brake lines are closely checked on the annual MOT  
(inspection) include a check with pressure on the brake pedal.
 
My car runs a mixture of pure copper (I know, I know) and copper/nickek  
brake pipes that haven't given my any problems over many years of use.   
Standard UK lines are mild steel with some kind of coating (zinc?).
 
If I were in the USA and copper/nickel lines weren't legal I'd certainly  
get stainless steel lines fitted.

severely rusted and once the rust was  scraped off and the brakes used they 
would weep brake fluid.
