> Like elves making toys or shoes ( no! Not spinning gold from straw!   That's another far fetched fable!)  I cut, bent up and flared the 2 rear axle brake tubes.   Bead blasted the brass T fitting and assembled the fittings for the AN type braided rear brake hose....and put it ALL on the car!   Now it has a complete front to rear with ALL items replaced brake system including a working emergency brake( very important in hillclimbs for the staging areas!) .

All the subcomponents sorted in right or left side zip lock bags with notes inside each bag for front, rear and which side.   Some extra hardware too( just in case!).   ISO & Double flare tools laid out and proper assorted tools under car to save my knees & back from the "get up & get back down" exercise which takes a toll at days end.   And with little effort it simply went together like the manuals state "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"!   Imagine that!  ( personally I have never bought into the "reverse of disassembly" theory!!)   these projects always involve some kind of cut, pinch resulting in a blood blister, the notice it a day later black& blue Mark you just never seem to remember the how or where of it's origins and the ever popular gear oil in your arm pit or hair!     Today other than warm and some humidity....was not "ground hog day " or "why did I ever start this DARN project" or aproptriately on saturday the 14th...not a Friday the 13th I'm in deep #2 scenario.
