As an aside, can anyone tell me where I can buy new olives for the
fittings on the hard nylon brake pipe? Europa can only supply them as
part of a complete fitting.

don't think I'd recommend copper, or copper alloy. They tend to fatigue
and
break with vibration. I still prefer the hard nylon. Incidentally it is
possible to use AN fittings and flared joints with nylon. Just warm it a
little, (don't melt it)
The other alternative would be stainless braided teflon, as supplied for
motor bikes and race cars. That's probably the best.
