Brake lines are steel tubing with copper and lead coatings to prevent
rust and corrosion. As the brake pedal is depressed, it moves pistons
within the master cylinder and forcing hydraulic brake fluid
throughout the brake system and into the wheel (or brake) cylinders.
The pressure placed upon this fluid causes the cylinder pistons to
move, forcing the brake shoes or friction pads and brake drums or
rotors to slow the vehicle.
