    This is how I made my hydraulic handbrake setup.




    Looks like a nice setup! But... Did you use copper? I've seen the "green coated" lines and the old school standard steel lines. I've even seen stainless steel lines in the hot-rod world. But I have not seen copper used on brake systems. How do you like them? I imagine the copper would be extremely easy to bend... Does your fluid react with the copper line in any way? Which fluid did you use? Did the copper flare easily or were the flares prone to cracking?

      Yeah I ended up jacking the left side of my car as high as I could and bled it. Feels pretty tight now.
