I am going to try to respond but the list does not like me anymore. I don't
believe the loop to be an issue. The question is, are your rear shoes
adjusted and is the ebrake on? You can't properly bleed the brakes if the
ebrake is on.

Subject: [Roadsters] brake line question
I made the line that runs from the junction on the rear axle to the rear
right wheel. I made it a few inches too long on purpose so I would have
extra length in case the flares I made didn't seal and I had to cut one or
both off and re-flare the end.
Both flares sealed just fine---YEEAAAAAA!! However, in order to get the line
to connect on both ends, I bent the line upwards, across and back down and
made a sort of half hoop to take up the extra line.
I then bled the brakes, starting with the farthest wheel, etc. I was unable
to get a firm pedal and had to stop shortly after doing the last brake (ran
out of time).
Is this "half hoop" going to hold an air bubble, or is the brake fluid going
to be thick enough to push all the air out?
Thanks and sorry to be so verbose.
