Question Copper Brake Pipes - opinions?

Just got some 100% copper brake pipes and they seem incredibly soft. Anybody has any good/bad experiences or opinions?

I've never seen copper brake lines , only stainless steel. That's a new one, maybe they are only available in the UK. I would be very reluctant to use them. JMO

Howard,

I'm going to find out more about these things. Your links were very useful - I'm now concerned about vibration damage 'cause they seem so soft!

Maybe I'm wrong and they are really copper/nickel which would ease my concern slightly.

Anyway, thanks for youy reply,
Gordon.
