to put it in perspective when I went to start on the brakes for the roadster 3 or so months ago I went round the big 4 or 5 motor factors (some of which are nationwide motor factors) in dundee and not 1 of them sold kunifer, they all said they havent seen it for at least 10 years or so - that means that any second car in and around the dundee area that has had brakes pipes done in 10 years or so has likely to have had copper pipes put on. of the things on my “to do” list before the next MOT is to replace the rear brake pipes, one of which is corroded and has been covered (flagged on the last 2 MOTs) and has been in that state since I bought it.

In a hydraulic braking system, the brake pipes of the vehicle are filled with the brake fluid reservoir integrated with the brake master cylinder and connected down to the slave cylinders in each wheel underneath your vehicle. Suitable for non-pressurised fuel pipe & for OE modifications or replacements on all types of brake & hydraulic lines That kit doesn't look the greatest quality. You want proper individual split dies rather than that rather ropey looking wing nut and bar affair.After you've bought the flaring tool & pipe, make a few practice flares on short lengths of pipe to get the hang of it before you commit to flaring the end of the pipe you've spent time bending round the various "obstacles" under the car & then cut to the optimum length. Thread the fitting onto the pipe and make sure it is the right way round before forming the flare........ this, so many times this. brake light Decals - please PM for info.

The typical metal brake pipe must be fine for half the world that doesn't salt their roads so it's obviously profit driven. My opinion is copper is OK and easy to flare , bend but needs plenty of supporting clips and if you need to repair / modify etc the brakes then be prepared to fit a new copper pipe at same time whereas Kunifer will probaly be reusable. You need a good pipecutter and particularly a good solid flaring tool. Mine is an old Sykes Picavant. Weighs plenty but does a good job.

The ones in the engine bay all look fine, however they are 33 years old so I fancy replacing them. The ones that came off the standard calipers however were well past their use by date by the looks of them, I actually snapped one removing it. I imagine the ones on the rear axle will be a state too when I get to doing them. Overhaul all front and rear callipers, new seals and including painting of the calipers + new EBC pads.

As I say I still use both on my own vehicles so cann't say I'm negative against copper - or pro Kunifer. They come pre-bent, and fit very well with only minor tweeking. The longest tube (4-way to rear brakes) was bent in half with a large-large radius and was easily straightened.
