Default Brake Pipes

I'm putting in an ABS brake system from a Commodore VZ. I asked my local brake experts to make up some pipes, they gave me copper pipes which I installed.

Another brake expert came over to bleed the ABS valves and refused to do the work because he said copper pipes are illegal on ABS. My engineer also says they should be steel.

The people who sold me the copper pipes are adamant that copper is OK - "ask the RTA" they say. They say 90% of the pipes they sell are copper.

(I note that the original pipes are steel but assumed this was on economic gropunds)

Who is correct? Whay do people here use?

Its been a much harder job putting in the pipes now everything else is in, now I have a pile of copper tubing - anyone know how to make a whiskey still!
