Make That 'Practically' Non-Ferrous 200

With beads of self-doubt-induced sweat dotting my wrinkled brow, I slunk out to the garage and put a scrap of 240 Brake Line to the Magnet Test.

To my utter shock and awe, there was a very slight (but perceptible) attraction.

However, I stick by my "No Rusting" statement, having never seen a rusty line or fitting nut on a 240. But that's not to say that the brass nuts can't get stuck to the copper-coated lines by Corrosion".

That happens.
