Rodeo 5 encouragement needed

have you missed me ?
i will start with my video leaving the Nec classic car show as i had both my rarities on Renault owners club stand a Facebook friend of mine caught me leaving so i added some suitable music
 
since earning money is priority Rodeo has been on hold waiting for me to get the metal roof structure powder coated grey
tricky as plastic coated and eventually got a local firm to put in burner oven and shot blast
anthracite grey was chosen ral 719 this was last month
stripped the front end had one door welded and several cracked panels re fibre glassed then primed and painted blue
hopefully progress will continue at this pace pics to follow soon
more in my album linked here https://photos.app.goo.gl/J3L7mCenGVycQh7J8

Are that copper brake lines?

They are not allowed in Croatia.
If at MOT they find out brake lines are copper it is instant fail!

Is engine standard 1108 or something stronger?

The engine Is from a 1300 Renault 5 TS bolted 2 HA1 5 speed 1100 gearbox Copper brake pipe is easier to fit and is definitely ok for MOT test here
 
Actually do not know why copper is not alowed.
It does not make sence to me.
But some acquaintances that restored old cars did not pass MOT because of them.

Copper is more prone to fatigue than the alternative materials. Also flaring tools when badly used can leave deep depressions in copper which doesn't help with the fatigue. I've used copper in the past and it's fine for the UK MOT. I use cunifer these days (copper alloy).

The build is looking fun @mr-reno-139 Those are some plush looking seats for a Rodeo, and a fancy dash too. Looking forward to watch progress. I think you are well ahead in the race for a functioning Rodeo. I have less to do and it's not doing it that slows me down.
 
I am aware that copper is softer and more easier to damage. But not convinced that is not usefull for brake lines.
CuNiFeR is much better choise but more expencive and not so easy to buy. It is used a lot in ships pipelines.
 
Petak is right, it is indeed a copper, nickel, iron alloy for car brake lines as well and not pure copper, but it will be an easier form of saying because to a layman it looks like copper rather than an alloy that can withstand much more brake fluid pressure than an ordinairy copper line ;)
