No way I would use copper, yes it does work harden with age and vibration.
Steel hydraulic lines for me, but if that proves too difficult, I'll go with swaged fitting hydraulic hoses. 8)

I don't see how putting Mini hydro on a van is any more worrying than putting Metro discs on a Mini, or converting a wet Mini to dry, if we are talking `legalities'.
What the hell, it's just another bloody Mini... :lol:
Note it will have front shocks, and hydro comp rear bumpstops- these are Aeon springs and can carry a load. Not that this van will ever carry anything in back. 8)
