Dear List:

I got a private correspondence referencing the brake bypass hose from Autozone 
that indicated that the flanging may be inappropriate on that piece.  The 
concern was that a bubble vs double flare was the British vs. Modern type of 
connection.  If this is so, there may be some safety issues involved in my 
solution.

I have driven the car approx. 400 miles with the bypass, and see no evidence of 
air interdiction (no loss or squishy pedal), and am not losing any fluid at the 
connection.  I also tried 3 or 4 panic/hard stops at the onset to check the 
integrity.  But brakes are funny things that can sneak up on you.  That being 
said, proceed at your own risk.
