Brake line set rocks!

Post by HingsingM37 »

Yesterday I installed the brake line set I got from John Bizal. What a time saver! To try and make my own lines would have been crazy. I got my old lines out and layed them on the floor. Luckly I tagged them with more detail than some of my other parts. I matched up the locations and started from the rear axle and moved forward. All of the lines matched up excellent with little or no "tweeking" needed for the fittings to thread in. The lines had the armour guard on them as well. The only glitch was I installed my y-adaptor on the front axle backwards. This did not allow enough slack for my brake hose to mount to the crossmember. I turned it around and all fit well. I highly recommend this set :D

You just put your finger on the problem, Matt. The fuel line is supposed to suck, but the vent line is supposed to blow. ;)
