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.

Where can these lines be found, or do they have to be fabricated? Is there an easier way like running braided line instead of hard lines?

Thanks,
Bob

IIRC there've been a couple of threads on the taildragger-bird-board that copper is brittle and can't stand the vibrations typically found in a car and because of that the lines are made of brass
