Re: [T3] Stainless steel braided brake lines


I noticed that CIP1 lists a hose for both rears (on IRS)  that's
officially the right-rear for a bus. I imagine that this hose is a
touch longer than the proper hoses. I figure so long as this slack
doesn't rub on anything, it should be fine, right?

I guess when the time comes to replace, I'll measure the hoses and see
what I've got going on.
