Brake lines for ninety

I am looking for defender brake pipes and can't find them anywhere. The only thing I found out was there is different types of pipes.
Q1. what type of pipe should I use kunifer or copper
Q2. Where do I get them?

you can buy them as standard parts ,or rimmers do copper pipe kits ,or make your own , coppers good for complex bends cunifer is better for long straight runs but either is good

Thanks for the help

The guy was very helpful, only fitted 1/2 so far, but have been perfect.

Make up your own then you know that they will fit.

Are the lines metric or imperial and what size? I ask because I'd be keen to buy a reel of pipe and make my own - just need to buy the correct metric or imperial assembly set.

Top man.

It looks like a lot of the repair/flaring kits are for metric. Can I use a 5mm equivalent die for 3/16"?

4.75 is nearer but kits with 3/16 in is very common

Did you compare making them yourself to the £90 for these?
Am I right in thinking cupro nickel is the same as kunifer?

kunifer is the same as cupro nickel looks better to me than copper nice to use when doing a rebuild like jamesmartin says copper bends well for tight places but is less forgiving when bending ,,although copper looks ace shined up ..lol and youve all probably guessed ""i likes mi shiny precious me does""lol
