I don't have copper brake lines, they are Ni-Copp, a Nickle/copper/iron alloy that is fuly DOT approved.
Thanks for info Pete
I don't know who is doing welded cranks now but I used to get them from Hank the Crank. Whatever crank you choose, when you balance it, you want to make the bob weight as light as possible.

Better make sure the racing association rules are ok with that brake line material. You are not racing with the DOT.

Here is a pic of what can be done with Cat H beam rods to lighten them.
