Replacing Brake Pipes.

[secubis3]

On my quest to rebuild my old Maestro, I want to do replce the brake pipes, but the pattern under the bonnet looks complicated to replicate.
Can this pattern be simplified at all? or is this supposed to be the most efficient pattern for brake pipes?

One more question: what is the best to use copper, steel or is flexable rubber an option.

Cheers

use copper pipe

Copper or Kunifer is the way to go. Easiest to try and retain original routing where possible to stop the pipes from rubbing on anything (or each other).

So how hard would it be for a first timer to get the shapes and any hints to avoid the pit falls?
