Hi guys, started doing my master cylinder last weekend. Opened up can of worms, everything looking pretty poor... so the job has turned into a complete overhaul of the hydraulic systems.
Since everything else will be shiny new and I seriously rounded some flare nuts with the old vice grips I want to replace some of the pipe work.
Anyone know what sort of psi the X's brake system generates and if copper pipe is sufficient, or should I go for steel? Wanted to flare my own so to speak and copper would be easier to work with. I was looking at some copper pipe, rated safe at 1841psi, max load 2698 psi. Would this be suitable do you think?
Thanks in advance, this forum is an absolute gem for information... learned so much just reading the old posts but couldn't find this specific answer anywhere and it isn't in the service manual.
