Hi Tom,
This may work for a fuel line but it would be a very bad idea for a brake line.
I am not a metallurgist but copper will work harden (from vibrations
and working it by hand or tools) and become brittle after time to a
point where it will fail. Take a piece of tubing and flex it
repeatedly and it will become very stiff.
