This week Bob had a chance to crawl into the engine compartment with his little thin wire and make patterns for the brake lines. He then transfers the pattern to straight pieces of brake line to make the bends. We use straight line as opposed to the roll because it does a nicer job. Using the line from the roll is marginally cheaper but it never straightens out as neat. We cleaned the line with Scotch pads and applied some stainless paint. The line without some kind of coating will rust fairly quickly. These will rust anyway but will last a while. The current available line is so crappy it doesn't last long. I noticed in Holland they have a copper coated steel line which would be prima.
Cheers,
Barry
