Today, I decided to make the steel brake lines for rear axle. Enjoyed it so much, I went on to do the front axle ones as well. Did not attempt to flare the ends. A local brake shop can do that, when they return to work after new year of course. Bloody public holidays.

Don't worry, the tube will line up again, once the flaring shortens the end a little. I was very fortunate to have the remains of lines on both axles to fabricate from. I did exercise a little user discretion in a couple of places, to keep things neat.

Need to find one of these brake line junction blocks for front axle. Ebay or Macs will provided eventually. The nut into other side (just visible in photo) has corroded very badly, and would have damaged the thread of the block, as it expanded.
