Re: [T3] MC/brake lines

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Ive had them bad off the shelf.

What happens is that these days nearly ALL of them have been on the shelf
for perhaps 20 years,
if they dont have plugs in them and or stored in a damp place they rust
inside, especially if assembled with the hydroscopic brake fluid and the
seals soon fail.  Sometimes the seals mearly take a set and leak once in
use.
