Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
If the booster is bad, the engine won't idle down. It is just a massive
vacuum diaphragm.

Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
I went generic bulk line and bent up my own. There is a radical price
difference. Our local auto stores will also let you borrow tools like a
flare tool and bender if you leave a deposit. Maybe you have a local
place like that too?
The bender can be found at plumbing supply stores too, one type is a
coil spring you slide along as you form it. They work well.

Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
I think he is referring to the rubber flex lines Mike.
I don't know the cost differential for the braided stainless, they might be
worth considering.
How much of the braking system are you replacing? It sounded initially like
Sumerel's wanted to replace everything from the master cylinder back.
Are you getting new steel lines, calipers, etc.?
