RE: copper brake pipes

Can I just add that if you are fitting/making copper brake pipes then
it's well worth using brass unions. This eliminates the problem of
corroded unions causing the pipes to twist when undoing them.

	Hi Alistair

	Most people use copper brake pipes when renovating their Stags.

	The reasons are two-fold;

	Copper pipes are supplied in lengths and can be bent to the
desired shape
	on the job, and are thus much cheaper and less susceptible to
	transit/storage damage than pre-bent Armco pipe.

	The life of copper pipe appears to be much greater than Armco
pipe which
	tends to corrode badly when nicked for instance by passing
stones.  Copper
	on the other hand, is self-healing in these circumstances.
