Re: copper brake pipes

["Mark N. Pacey" <M.N.Pacey@sheffield.ac.uk>]

I used copper pipes on a Quantum kit car I built last summer (does 
that count as another obscure British make?) and they were bent 
around quite a bit while trying to get a good fit at the master 
cylinder end.  I didn't get the microscope out to check the grain 
structure, but there was no sign of cracking or discolouration in the 
pipes when I had finished.
