- Here is my story. I have recently acquired a 69B that has not driven on its own power for several years. The engine has run but the DPO had removed the master brake cylinder and never completed (or

- Frank I would offer a few suggestions as far as doing your own pipes. Be sure to get a tubing bender. Pep Boys and Parts America both sell a nice one for about $10 dollars. You can use it with the li

- The heat anneals the metal pipe or copper washers. The process of cutting the tubing and bending it into a flare seems to harden it a little. When doing this don't quence the pipe in water or it will

- Not too sure I'd want to take the temper out of the steel brake line. Seems like it be prone to breakage due to vibreation, etc. A good, correctly aligned flare connection won't leak. Also, one must

- I hope to be leak free from the start, if not??? As stated in my original post the DPO removed the master cylinder several years ago. I am doing a rather complete rebuild of the brake system (I like

- I just purchased a 1977 MGB and while investigating a pull under braking, I discovered that the drivers rear line had been smashed leaving a nice crimp. I've been looking for the line and was about
