[Healeys] Correct way to fit flexible brake lines to BT7

[Bob Haskell]

Phil,

I think a copper washer is only used where the flexible line attaches to 
the brass tee on the rear axle.  Attach that line to the tee first and 
then to the hard brake line.

For the front brake hoses, I do attach the flexible line to the chassis 
first as it has to index into the fitting.  Then attach to the bracket 
on the brake, without twisting the line.  Use a lock washer underneath 
the (half) nut at each end.  Then attach the hard lines.

If you're doing the flexible line for the clutch, a copper washer is 
used at the slave cylinder and a lock washer on the other end.

Note that the threaded ends of the lines for the clutch and rear axle 
may be different.  The shorter end goes into the tee/cylinder.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
