Re: Brake Lines

[Theo Smit <tsmit@shaw.ca>]

Back when, I re-plumbed the rear axle on my race car using some bend-to-fit
brake tubing and one side sheared off shortly after installation twice due to
vibration. The third time I put some hose clamps further up the rear axle tube,
which changed the resonant frequency of the line enough to keep it from doing
that. Vibration is a killer, and stress risers like swaging marks, crimps, and
the like are ideal places for cracks to start.
