Default Brake Lines Brake Lines Brake Lines (( 11-21-20 ))

Picking up where I left off I need to connect both front calipers to the master and my goal was to keep is simple and fairly
easy build. I plan to install a Knotchead line clamp under it to support it.







Time to make the final line.
Since I made reference marks on the practice line I used those to make the new line all in one piece and it turned out exactly how I wanted it.



Yep, I kept practicing with the scrap pieces to help me learn where to line up the tools so I can get the desired bends.



So I was feeling a little bit ambitious and I gave it another crack on the crossover line on the subframe.



I needed an extra hand so I put the brake line bender in my Grandfathers Vice and wow was this a total game changer
it was like having Mike in the garage helping me.





I just realized the sweatshirt that I am wearing in this picture was the last gift I received from my Grandmother before she died
in 1989. It had moved with me many times over the years and I never wore it. A few years back I pulled it out and decided I would
finally where it.





Using the reference marks I made allowed me to duplicate the final line all in one piece. I also traced out the line with string
so I new exactly how much line was necessary. It would have sucked if I had started with a 60" line as this line turned out to be 62" in length.





The final flare and yes the fitting is on !!!





The tape makes the line not look centered but it is actually almost perfect.
