To my dismay I just imported a set of very nice Automec Brake Pipes for my 3A and I find that anything other than steel pipes are illegal in this Country of ours.
I guess some highly knowledgeable Public Servant made that profound decision many years back.:mad:

Steel brake lines are always plated for corrosion resistance ... if anyone asks, just them that yours are plated with a new lead-free alloy that contains copper. The original plating contained lead, which contaminated the environment.
