1. In my search I had an interesting personal talk to a sales person in one of the biggest manufacturers/importers of brake lines in Europe (www.ojd.dk). They supply all countries in Europe and they offer both 100% copper and cunifer lines. Basically they ship 100% copper lines and no cunifer lines to all countries in Europe and all the way to Russia except for Germany.
2. I can safely attest that 100% copper lines are readily accepted by all TÃœV inspections in Denmark.Without question! And trust me, Denmark is heavily equally regulated by EU laws as Germany
3. When contacting the biggest OE spare parts supplier in Denmark (suppling/delivering spare parts 5x a day for 90% of all automotive workshops in Denmark), they did not have Cunifer lines in stock, only 100% copper lines suggesting that none of the automotive workshops use cunifer lines.
4. When contacting OJD an asking for a Danish shop where I could rapidly buy some cunifer lines, the answer was negative. They suggested that I buy them online in Germany!
