Going to be replacing break lines etc in my tr3 with 90% copper/10% nickel lines as supplied by moss. Is it OK to reuse the old 3 and 5 way connections in the front and back. I know in plumbing there is an issue with electrolysis when attaching copper to iron pipes.
 
Should be OK, but of course there is no substitute for careful inspection when working on 50 year old braking systems. The original lines were plated to prevent corrosion.
