Hi all,
On my '66 standard there is a brake line that runs from the top wheel
cylinder to the bottom wheel cylinder on each front wheel. When I
recently replaced the backing plates and wheel cylinders I did not
place the brake line on the left wheel far enough away from the inner
hub of the brake drum and it slowly carved it's way thru the line. I
was lucky and no one was hurt. Kids, don't let this happen to you!
So, now I find myself in need of a left side brake line. The right
side is bent quite differently but maybe rebendable. No one sells
these pre-bent that I can find and I am finding out that i am NO GOOD
at bending a straight piece to fit, even with the proper tool. This
line takes an s-curve and needs little turns at each end also. it's a
bitch!
Does anyone have a good line and fittings intact, preferably from the
left side that I can purchase? Help!
