[NOBBC] Winter Car Projects

[Robin Jackson]

A coil would have cost @ $70.00 plus the nuts. I found a Healey guy on East
Coast who delivered me all brake and clutch lines cut and flared for
$160.00. It was coiled and labled. All I have to do is remove each old line
and bend the new to the correct configuration. It is easy to form, mostly
with my hands. On 180 bends I bend around a "spud" in my vice. I am very
pleased with the results.
