Have you made your own steel brake lines? I broke one yesterday working on the hell-hole (the long one for the passenger rear). I did some research and it looks fairly straightforward, just need to buy the proper tools and practice.
But before I do, or PM bdstone914 for spare parts, I thought I'd query the local brain trust. Thanks, Nate |

Stores such as NAPA, Carquest, and others, sell brake lines with the correct fittings. Why would you buy the wrong ones, cut them up, and change the ends? I'm having a hard time understanding the thinking behind that one.
