In the process of looking for suppliers for M10 brake line nuts, I 
came across a URL for a place suggesting a particular 
copper/nickel alloy for brake lines. Apparently Volvos have been 
using this alloy because of its corrosion resistance for the past 15 
years. Does anyone here have any experience with this? I'm 
thinking it might be a better choice than stainless since it is 
probably more workable and strength, at this size, is really not an 
problem.
