Listers,
I have an odd brake problem on the rear of my '72 Midget. It seems that the 
hollow "bolt" that holds the brakeline in the wheel cylinder is flared at the 
end. It looks like whenever it was last delt with that it was tightened too 
tight and the niple on the end of the brake line flared the end of the bolt. 
My question is.... Is this something i can take a file to and file the flared 
bit down, or should i bite the bullet and get another piece of line all 
together. Its the short line on the pasanger side of the "T" conection from 
the main line. It can't be that expensive.

Also, I went to the show at Tanglewood in Winston-Salem and had a great time. 
I got a chance to break in our new digital camera, took tons of pictures. My 
compliments to the Triad Austin Heally Club for hard work in putting on the 
show. I left my name an address and look forward to that membership info!. :)
I've also decided that my new goal is to run in the rally next year. now if i 
can talk my wife in to being my navigator... wait a minute, that might not be 
a good idea.

Happy driving !

Don
