Brass/copper Brake Lines

[martyf]

building a 30 A Tudor, obviously open wheel, and engine bay. I plan on painting the frame semi gloss black, and thought some brass or copper brake lines (and air lines for bags) would look good.

my question is can you even use brass or copper? I fiogure copper would be stronger but wanted to as the pros if it can even be done!!

Do not use them for brake lines. Use only steel or cunifer.

Cunifer IT will be!!

it has the copper/brass color somewhat, so Ill go that route, but I gotta find it in stright tubing, not rolls, Im OCD about stright lines and such

Spray can of brass rustoleum will do the trick. Take the rubber off and spray the hold down clamps also. It would look great against the black frame.

Absolutely NO on copper or brass for brakes.

Roll tubing is easy to straighten. Not sure why so many people are afraid of it. I know because I am picky about straight lines as well.
