Kunifer tube is a mixture of 90% cupro and 10% nickel. It has good corrosion resistance and is ideal for solid brake and fuel lines where flexibility is not required.

I have all ways used standard copper lines on any new/ repairs to brakes systems, i usually get a 7.5 metre roll of which ever is the cheapest in the motor factors, as a mechanic i want to be able to make a few quid with out safety being effected and copper is mot safe and fine [/quote]

I've used copper, kunifer will last longer , but copper is more flexible so easier to get in place.
