On this morning NEWS I heard that justice had finally been done to al them folks on the under side of the world who claim to be enjoying Summer wil we freeze our....CMPs.

Said you guys had cold weather and hail the size of golf balls...... finally justice..... just hoping that your truck was parked inside......

Now to get serious for a second.... apparently lines from Jim Carter... I taught he was selling USA sausages.... have the modern lazy clip on the frame connection instead of the slow time consuming treaded bolt which is hated by assembly line experts...hahaha

From what I have seen at the Car Quest dealer here in Ottawa they have a special book going back to 1924 and all kind of lines are listed. The pictorial section allowes you to find the rpoper end fittings and s thread size.... then you just seklect from the various lebght size available. In that store only one clerk knows how to look up stuff... or has the patience to look it up. Went there on Monday afetrnoon he was away and no one else could even find the darn book.

A good patient parts man is priceless.

Steel brake lines are easily found here also.... I have made them before... but always resisted the temptation to work with the easy copper lines has they can be deadly... and actually against the law I believe.

I will be getting my wheel cylinders and master relined with stainless steel inserts.... garanteed for line never to rust or pit..... here in Canada if you do not drive your vehicle and brake hard enough to boil out moisture regularly youneed to bleed and reprime you system every spring after the winter hibernation that most CMP suffer... I would not drive themon our salty roads.

I am intending to use the silicon surplus military brake fluid... even modern Fords are using that stuff now......

Thanks for your insight
