The only rigid tubing that should be used for high pressure brake pipes is
steel "bundy tubing." This tubing is formed by rolling a flat sheet of
steel into a tube that is two layers thick and then furnace brazing it into
a bendable, leakproof rigid walled tube. It is then cadmium or zink plated
to make it corrosion resistant. Using aluminum tubing would be creating
and "accident waiting to happen."
