My  Spitfire has been "up on blocks" (showing my southern heritage) 
for a  month or so with the rear end pulled apart.  The steel brake 
lines  are looking quite rusted so I'm considering replacing them with 
the set  from Spitbits.  Never done that before.  Anyone got any  
advice?  Experience with those lines?  Yeah or  nay?

Jim,
I don't know anything about Spitbitz parts. My experience with replacement  
brake lines has not been good though. The last two cars I have restored, I had  
the brake lines cleaned, pickled, and nickle plated-need to take care to mask 
 all threads though.
