> Hello Friends,
   Today I disassembled my car's rear brakes. The pipes are plugged and the
hoses are perished. I have new pipes and hoses ordered and due tomorrow.
Two of the short pipes out to the rear slave cylinders appear to be NLA but
I have an assortment of new pipes left over from other sets. Two of these
spare pipes will fit just fine.
   I got very dirty.
