- Okay, that makes more sense. Next IVR race weekend is only two weeks, April 12/13, maybe I'll have a Triumph ready for that one. I did get to do a few laps in a Crossle Formula Ford this weekend, th

- Kris's article on brake plumbing was very useful. I have only one area that my own experience differs and that may be due to the particular double flare tool ai have used to make bubble flares. We h

- On the race car, unless I have a damn good reason not to, *everything* is converted to aeroquip/earls with the appropriate flare. Brakes, clutch, etc. All brake lines are braided stainless. (Actually

- I did the same thing and suffered from a little softness in my brakes. I use hard lines wherever possible and stainless where I need flexibility. And of course, double flares. I had the same problem

- Is using teflon covered with stainless braid for long runs along the frame and such better than using rigid stainless tubing? Of course, now I'm wondering if the hard lines I put in Killer's brake s

- I don't think so, and the cost is fairly high for something that is not really as safe or that performs as well as hard lines in long runs. I tried it and didn't like it. I also find it awfully easy

- When we built up the Vitesse for the Trans-Am series we thought we were being brilliant running all stainless braided hose even on the long runs to the back. Never could get a decent brake pedal. Fin
