Thanks Tom and Rusty. Good point.

I'll use a different material for the tube. Aluminium tubing would be the best choice if I can flare it very slightly, although being harder/brittle compared to copper it will be more likely to split I think. If it doesn't flare OK I guess coating the copper and aluminium mating surfaces with epoxy paint (- even a few coats of good ol' POR15) should do the trick.

Also will insulate the Al trays where they make contact with the Coupe bodywork. I was going to use Tek screws to secure trays and that will need some consideration regarding insulation. Probably can work something out using plastic block or rawl plugs and self-tappers . . . .
