You need cupro nickel tubing for brake lines. A shop in Ashburton is agent for the tube.

Copper is legal for brake pipes.

Copper brake lines have been illegal in NZ from the late 90's (they work harden). Copper-Nickel tube (approx. 10 % nickel) "intended for brake lines" is OK.

It's not and has never been in the VIRM. They need to be secured every 300mm to stop movement which causes the work hardening.

im guessing the copper being banned is a cert requirement rather than a wof failure item?

Yes okay for WOF but not for Cert or Vin.

Wouldn't the use of nonstandard material require a cert? AFAIK the recognised tubing for brake lines is bundy steel and Cunifer or similar copper nickle.
