Hello,

Hydraulic disc brakes (as well as some components in heavy equipment
applications) utilize a "banjo bolt" to deliver fluid pressure to the disc
caliper or other relevant component.  Your local auto supplier should have a
tray with all different kinds of sizes.  These, however, are a bit on the
thin side, and I don't believe that they will serve your application well.
If you are not dead set on using copper, you may be better off talking to
your machine shop or an equipped friend and have some brass bushing stock
either sectioned on a lathe or bandsawed.
