The copper is more expensive but you will make a good safe job of your flairs/ends and it's easier to bend into shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futura 3 Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) I've got a 10 meter roll of copper unused that I want to sell. I am in the process of doing my brake lines and already had enough from a previous roll so this one won't be of any use to me (unless I messed up and cut too short). I am finishing the job tomorrow so I'll be able to tell you thenn if my roll is still complete. PM me if interested Edited January 20, 2007 by futura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 20, 2007 There is loads on ebay dirt cheap for 25m so think I'll get some ordered. Its the postage that adds the price up, I can get a 25m roll of 3/16 copper brake pipe for about £6 at my local motor factors & unions for 10p each. Graham.

I think you will find that it has gone up very recently due to the price of copper going through the roof. Maybe old stock though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
