REFLECTOR: brake lines

[lawrence epstein]

The manual is far from complete and it is probably a stretch to say 
comprehensive.  It is best used as a minimum/guidline/outline.

You should access the Reflector Archives as almost every topic has been 
covered multiple times. (Not that we don't enjoy re-re-reinventing the 
wheel. After all, it is "experimental")

As far as the Nylaflow, however you install it, expect to have to change it 
in the future.  The plastic degrades after 6 or 7 years and becomes brittle. 
It has been suggested to fabricate a conduit along the outside of the duct 
by taking plastic drinking straws and connecting them end to end the entire 
length then covering with fine bid. then you just thread the nylaflow thru. 
This way, if you need to change it, it is a snap. I myself used aluminum 
tubing from the master cylinder and along the ducts, which I glassed over 
and terminated at the gear bulkhead. from there, I used teflon/braided 
stainless steel brake line (Auroquip) down the gear legs to the calipers.
