Bradakis" <mjb@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 11:29:22 -0600 (MDT); Since this is a race car, I'd suggest chucking the PDWA and current tees, doing all the brake plumbing in -3 AN fittings. If you get a decent AN flaring tool the job is fairly easy. mjb.; /html/fot/2001-05/msg00034.html (7,332 bytes)
