Jeez, what's wrong with the Poms?? - Don't answer this question!!
Copper tubing is not safe for brake lines and its use is expressly
forbidden by Motorsport New Zealand. Any car that turns up for
scrutineering with copper tubing installed is automatically rejected. I'm
in the process of removing all the copper tubing that was fitted into our
Giulia Sprint GT at the time it was converted to the ATE twin-circuit (ex
105 series 2000 ) system. Thought I'd change the system almost completely
(junk the boosters and underfloor mc) hence my earlier request for a pedal
box .
