4.75mm is used on every car I have ever dealt with .. as an ex brake testing engineer for Girlings.

Use Cupro-Nickel (Kuniform) if you can .. rust proof and vibration proof.. Copper can work harden with vibration and crack if not secured properly.

Brake pipes are of a standard 3/16th inch or 4.75mm but my imperial to metric conversion comes out at 4.7625 mm.
