I was told never to use plain household copper tubing (although I know
someone who did use it on their car which should be on the road this
summer). I tried to get steel tubing but my local shops only sell it in
pre-cut lengths with fittings on, so I have to cut and reflare them and
splice since they are short. I was also told I should use something called
cupra-nickel lines (no idea if that is the right name) but I can't find
that either. I just want to buy a roll of the stuff since I have to do 2
cars and I won't find pre-made lines for them. Where and what should be
used ?

p.s. on the team.net website there is a GREAT brake article but the
recommended place for bundy tubing (spruce aircraft supply I think it was)
does not list bundy tubing on the website. Waiting for catalog :)
