Default Brake pipe
A bit late but I used 3/16" Copper Nickle tube. It's a steel alloy that is ADR approved along with Bundy tube. Beautiful to work with, Comes in a 7.6mtr coil and can be straightened easily. It looks like copper but it's magnetic and cuts like steel and double flares without problems.
The bundy tube is lately in conflict with OH&S as there is lead in the galvanising. There is an Indian made Bundy tube product. It has a green colour to it and it is very hard thus hard to work with.
