Making SS Brake Lines

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

a) $10 x at least 8 fittings = $80.  Add shipping, the hose, and two more fittings if you have
rear disks.  No matter how you slice it, you just blew your savings.

b) Man, don't try this at home.  Even a cheapass like me won't skimp on brakes!
