I never touched the ones that came on the car..
I've just bought a pipe cutting tool and a bending tool, so copper it is for me i think

and half price of bnq but i needed mine the same day needed the car
Oh cool, is 8mm ok for feed and return? or get some of both? I can order it through work, if they get the kind of discount we do on tools it'll be cheaper then that.
Our machinery has copper lines for the Lubrication system

I'm gonna reuse my feed pipe as the return as it's not pressurised. For the feed 8 - 10 mm of whatever's the cheapest.
Shamelessly robbed from NOV4 SPORT
