3/8 copper tube is good stuff to use, annealed of course so it is nice and bendy, the flexy parts can be done with OPA.

The braided pipe in the first ad is ok, will do the job perfectly, if expensively, the copper tube in the 2nd ad is way too small, at 3/16.
Just need regular annealed(soft) copper in 3/8 size, try building plumbing merchants etc.

Just done mine in Aeroquip, looks good, and should last better than rigid pipe.

Yeah, probably around £80-£90, but you need the welding done too!
