[Shotimes] flexible brake lines

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Mike:
 When I made my stainless flexible steel brake lines. I pried open the heavy
metal bracket, removed the old rubber hose and then bead blasted it and
painted it. Then I wrapped some rubber around the SS line and recrimped the
bracket back down on the rubber encased line. It's been about 50K miles and
a couple of years with no problems.
