With the pressures involved I would not trust copper pipe.  

When I did a power steering conversion on my Land Rover 90, despite using the correct high pressure flexible hose the jubilee clips that I used were just unable to cope with the pressures involved and would blow the pipe of the correct swaged/fir tree fittings.    I went to our local hydraulic repair place (for fork lift trucks etc.) and they made me up a pipe to fit that was guaranteed to take the pressure - and no problems since.
