But once you have a flaring tool it is very easy to make your own lines any length you want.
Thank's, Dave. My brake line system is in pretty darned good shape. I think that side was only screwed up because, the guy before me, cross threaded the thing and got lucky, for a while.
'Til, I nosed into thing's.
I've never messed with those small brake line's, before. What about linking in the old line with a custem new one that goe's under the the frame, and into the soft line? I don't think that would be too tacky, if the connecting link was hidden along the fender well. Or would it be simpler to get a kit. I don't have, or want brake line bending or flanging, professional tool's.
Also, what about that spiral, protective webbing on the line? I don't think Year One offer's that. I must apologize, I'm not very good at this brake line stuff.
Thank's, Pat
