Re: [T3] replacing Brake line front to rear

[Nico teWinkel <nico@mulberrylane.net>]

<x-flowed>Oh man... Here I thought it was routed through the middle of the beam!
I just pulled out the back seat and there it is in plain sight! You'd think 
I would have remembered that from the time I replaced all the carpet in 
there.
Thanks Mark!

I didn't know Jim had SS lines available, so I guess the answer to that is 
no. I bought just whatever they make brake lines out of, I guess.

So, is there a fuel line that runs through the middle that you can't get to? 
Or have I been inhaling too much brake dust again?

Thanks,
-Nico
