Did you run the original white nylon brake line, or something bigger and better?

Brian,

I bought some 3/16" heavy walled white nylon tubing and new brass compression farrels and installed on mine. My tubing wasn't bad and my brakes worked fine. It was just the fact that I've been into everything else and I didn't want to chance the brakes. Just the sediment alone in the system was enough to scare me.

Pardon me, closer to 6 bills!

That is what he's asking Don. I didn't realize they were quite that valuable.

I'm going to replace my 34 year old brake line with new, just because I think is my best interest. :lol22:

There was just a used K/H brake caliper setup that went for around $80.99 or something like that?? I was wondering if anybody on the broad bought it.

LOL that one went right over my head?? OK, OK, now I saw what I did, LOL, well I never said spelling was one of my good subjects & spell ck doesn't know what I ment, LOL
The reason I ask is I ran it up to 79.99... & got beat out..I didn't mean to run someone that high that is on the board but if anyone else got it then I'm ok with doing that, I was hoping to get it with out going that high..
Seems a person never can have to many on hand..
