For some reason unknown to me every vehicle I've ever worked on the reservoirs are reversed... front reservoir does rear brakes, rear reservoir does front brakes. Maybe it's a pressure thing? More hydraulic force closer to the master to give extra pressure to the front??

First roll of copper nickel I bought replumbed the entire brake system of my 94 GMC Jimmy. No issues bleeding the brakes with that ABS system.
Took most of a day to do it, but that was mostly due to the rust issues...

The problem with copper is that it tends to crack from vibration. Not sure if the nickel helps that or not

One would think with its greater flexibility that it would be less likely to crack from vibration... Have you seen data for that? edit - looked around for info on the vibrational cracking, and it seems to only pop up on Harley forums. Guess it's not everyone's favorite oil line material on their paint shaker HD's...  Don't think it would be an issue for brake lines on a car, as they are not attached to the engine, and generally live a pretty stable life. Biggest concern with brake lines seems to be corrosion.
