REFLECTOR: main gear brake lines

[Keith Hallsten]

Scott,

I used soda straws to slip the 3/16" Nylaflow through.  I cut a short piece
of Nylaflow and tried straws at all the usual fast food restaurants, but
their straws were a real sloppy fit - I finally found straws of the perfect
diameter at a Subway sandwich shop!

Subject: REFLECTOR: main gear brake lines

I'm starting the process of beefing up my main gear legs with carbon 
fiber wraps and wanted to ditch the externsl stainless covered rubber 
brake lines in favor of embedded nylo-flow lines as per the manual.

Questions:

I have 3/16 nyla-flow running to the firewall from the master 
cylinders.  Would it be bad to run 1/8 line down the legs.  I can't 
imagine that would restrict the flow during application all that much. 

Also I would like to do the soda straw technique or some other way of 
building a tube in the leg for the nyla-flow to be inserted into so it 
could be changed out easily if needed.  Any great ideas on how to do 
this with ease?

Scott
