Nigel, quenching is quick cooling in my book ( anneals copper) -- hopefully Grim will set the record straight.

IF YOU BIN THE SERVO IT MEANS LESS WEIGHT GO FASTER

just have a dump before you drive that should save 2lb on a good day

Annealing is the way to go. It takes copper back to its original state, but do not quench it. Smal brake pipes cool quickly anyway.

Copper also gets work hardened by continuous bending in the same place continually, or by vibration. Hence why you should anneal before working it. Bending tools are as cheap as chips on eBay and well woth getting. Last but not least, form double flares before bending as May not be able to use flaring tool near a tight bend.

Dont do this. Heat loss is energy loss. And less weight behind your leg.

You can air cool copper or water quench it to anneal it. Not certain about Kunifer (copper/nickel) brake piping though.

You can aneal the pipe with fluid in it make a nice blow torch
