those copper lines are not original.
Use only lines from the brake line bin at local parts store. copper has a
weak bursting strength. Real brake lines are steel with copper tin plating,
but I doubt you can see their copper.
If you want to disassemble lines in 5-10 years, put a dab of anti sieze lube
on the pipe shank under the nut. This prevents pipe from rusting to the nut,
twist off pipe when trying to remove deep in the future.
