Have to agree with Larry on the hoses. In dismantling the front suspension
my TR6 for R/R on the repaired frame, brake fluid would only run out of one
side. Both hoses looked serviceable, one I can blow through easily, the
other holds 80 psi from the compressor.
The DPO must have taken a sharp left turn every time he stepped on the
brakes.
