   Ive had some custom powersteering pipes made up to run powersteering on a low car. However im still very tight on space with the closer of the 2 powersteering pipes. I was wondering, seeing as its not a high pressure pipe (if im correct the pipe at the back is the high pressure one?) can i use copper pipe like you would with brake lines? i just need something more flexible than the standard metal pipes.
   The custom one ive had made doesnt have a flared end and so uses this adaptor below, which makes it stick out a bit too far
   
   Any ideas anyone?
