[6pack] TR-6 brake lines and PDWA switch

[Navarrette, Vance]

	Richard:

	While it is possible that someone removed it, it is highly unlikely. The
pipes from the master cylinder connect directly to the PDWA, so one cannot
simply remove it and then use the car. Oh, I suppose that someone could remove
it and engineer some unions from the M/C to the brake lines, but there would
be evidence that it had been present. Of course if someone were willing to
fabricate custom brake lines then all bets are off.
	I used the cupronickel lines sold by Moss, and they worked great. You do not
need a tubing bender, simply bend them gently by hand to get professional
looking results. My only gripe is that they are not the correct color - they
are copper colored instead of steel colored. But they have been flawless in
use, and they can't rust.

Hi,

I've been looking for replacement brake piping/lines for my 1970 TR-6 which
is a frame off restoration right now.  I have a couple of questions:

1.My car is left hand drive (US) but does not appear to have been
fitted with a PDWA switch - we can't find any of the hardware on the car.
Is this something that would not have appeared on the 1970 cars?  It appears
in the Moss and TRF parts lists.
2.Is there more than one manufacturer of pre-bent brake lines for the
TR-6?

Thanks very much!
