Ive used 8mm lines. You can buy it fomr B&Q.

I know you can buy plastic lines as well from GBS which may be easier to work with. They will be rsistant to ethanol as well. (whereas the copper ones will eventually have problems)

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

I used 10mm copper as that is what I had laying about. I then had to buy bits in 10mm rather than what the sierra had (8mm) so it prob cost me more in the long run.
