Hi

That looks so good.

You mentioned using cooper brake lines. I'm not sure about where you live but they are not allowed for street use where I live, apparently the cooper can work harden and become brittle.

I live in Belgium and as far as I know all hard brake lines in cars over here are copper, they do not rust through like steal ones.

Cupronickel is a better option (Copper 90%/ Nickel 10%), it is more durable and does not appear to suffer the corrosive effects of salt etc. Its marginally harder to bend than copper but thats no bad thing. Most built up systems use this material in the UK and the ONLY time you get steel lines is when you get the OEM ones from the dealers.
