  1. Just a very quick one (hopefully)

    Could someone let me know the diameter of the copper brake lines for our buses or are there different sizes around the bus.

    Thanks in advance

    Cunifer is mostly copper with some nickle and iron to give more flexibility durability and corrosion resistance, copper if fine but corrodes a lot quicker, steel is what most manufacturers use as its cheaper. Most brake line failures occur from the inside out, hence the brake fluid change intervals and moisture level checks .
