I have the shroud finished and I now need to route the oil lines back to the engine compartment. What material are the hard lines made of? Here are a few pictures of the lines in question.

I would be able to machine brass ends to use with copper tubing, but what would be the best way to fasten them? Would plumbing solder be strong enough at oil temperatures or would they need to be hard (silver) soldered?
