Nope,bull motif and esm minors sell normal copper pipes of near pure copper make-up compete with a printed standard on each piece, Morris minors have absolutely no pipe fixings either other than where they change to flexi pipes, ironically I've got genuine Goodridge hoses on all three flexible sections, the rest of the car has nothing more than tabs of metal bent over the pipe to hold them in place!

Apparently the trick with copper is to only use brass ends.

Despite what you say, the serious fatigue problem remains, and the copper pipe is NOT certified as suitable for brake systems. It should not be sold as such. Why is it illegal in the USA, Australia and most of Europe?

It's not here though and it is sold and used as such, it's not "what I say" it's factual hence the links to show you, I haven't setup a successful Morris minor parts company just to list some fake brake lines and put the links on a mini forum, honestly I haven't.

My car has.
No seat belts.
No reverse lights.
No fog lights front or rear.
No air bags.
No impact beams.
No safety glass.
No laminated screen.
No requirement for indicators (mine has though).
No emissions test.
No dual circuit brakes.
No brake servo.
No synchro on first/reverse.
Innertubes in the tyres.

If any of that concerned me I'd only drive the wife's Scirocco :)

Have you not changed any of that? Not even stuff like the laminated screen or safety glass?

Nope, it's a classic car not a creche

I put a set of seatbelts in my 63 Mk1, its for family use, I couldn't drive it knowing the kids weren't as secure as possible (as possible as it is to be secure in a 1963 Mini!)

I haven't got any kids
