[Shotimes] Brake bias plug question

[Ron Porter]

Have you looked at the setup? It takes a lot more than two connectors!!

$25-30 for a set of proper plugs is not a bad deal for the return on
investment.

Yea I do not under stand that either when you can go to the parts store and
buy 2 connectors. Then screw the lines together.
