Copper fuel lines?

...or perhaps 'BRONZE' if the main alloying element is other than zinc or nickle

 

I was hoping someone would fill in that blank..

 

It's copper-nickel. I'd never even heard of it until I came over here, but apparently even OEMs use it - Volvo comes to mind - and they tout themselves on safety.

Makes sense to me - no rust-out, easier to work/bend/flare & will polish up like regular copper should you so desire...

Just picked some up for my juice-brake conversion on my '34

 

cool idea, thanks

 

So...this bronze alloy brake line...I wonder if it WOULD be legal on the road over here?
It ISN'T soft copper...and THATS whats illegal!

Sounds like a better product to me. I've had brakes fail due to rusted brake lines on winter beaters before. With the double system you still stop but the seat gets a permanent pucker!!!

I'd bet if you had DO***ENTATION of what you were running you wouldn't get any h***le...or you could paint it...but I'd rather polish it up.

I wonder can you buy it over on this side?

 

A clever marketer would put this stuff on eBay.
I just did a quick search and didn't see it.
And a generous guy would put it on a HAMB auction. Sounds like cool stuff. Can you polish it?

EDIT: I take that back. Here it is on evilBay...
