Clutch Pipe Alfa Romeo GTV2000,1750 & Spyder 66-69 ACP023

When you're replacing rotted brake lines under a vehicle, you want to do the job once and know it’s going to last. While standard copper pipe is cheap and easy to bend, it lacks the structural integrity required for modern high-pressure braking systems and is prone to work-hardening and cracking under constant vibration. This Copper Nickel (commonly known as Kunifer, CuNi, or NiCopp) tubing is the industry standard for professional-grade brake line fabrication.

Unlike OEM steel lines that rust out after a few salty UK winters, Copper Nickel offers superior corrosion resistance. It is an alloy specifically engineered to combine the rust-proof properties of copper with the high tensile strength and fatigue resistance of nickel. This makes it tough enough to handle the cycling pressures of ABS systems while remaining highly resistant to road salt, moisture, and grime.

Why Professional Mechanics Choose Kunifer:

• High Fatigue Strength: Unlike pure copper, Kunifer resists work-hardening, meaning it won't become brittle and crack under the constant vibration of the chassis and suspension.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Impervious to road salt and moisture, ensuring the vehicle won't fail its MOT on corroded brake lines again.
• Excellent Workability: While stiffer than pure copper, it is still pliable enough to be bent cleanly by hand or with a pipe bender without kinking, and it takes a perfect single or double flare (SAE or DIN) every time.
• High Pressure Rating: Safely handles the extreme hydraulic pressures of modern braking systems, including heavy-duty and commercial vehicles.

Workshop Tips for Best Results:

To get neat, OEM-quality bends, we recommend using a handheld pipe bending tool rather than bending purely by hand, especially on tight radii. When flaring, ensure you deburr the inside of the cut pipe first; because Copper Nickel is tougher than standard copper, a clean cut and proper chamfer are essential for getting a leak-free flare that seats perfectly into your brake fittings.

Copper pipes are more traditional and easier to work with however Copper Nickel (aka CuNI, Kunifer, cupro-nickel or NiCopp) is more resistant to corrosion and has a higher fatigue strength.
