Also, it seems you have little clips to hold the lines in place? Is that a modern clip of some type?

Ian...DON'T use copper line for brakes. It doesn't meet the pressure requirements. 1/4" line was what Henry used originally, and the vintage hydraulic brakes all use fittings sized for 1/4" tubing. Don't forget to DOUBLE FLARE brake flares. Get this "made for brakes" tubing at your local auto parts house. Click the link below! DD
