Re: Making brake lines

[Mark Denovich <mark@domain.elided>]

This is good advice.   About a year ago I asked the same question, and 
got many responses from people who know a thing or two about these 
things, and they all said to buy pre-made brake lines.

Ask for "european" metric brake line... at least that's what they call 
it at Pepboys/Autozones around here.
