[TR] installing new SS brake lines

When I did the conversion the first time it was where you are now and I had 
no problems.  Four years ago I had the brake master cylinder go out on the 
Stag at the SE Regional at Jekyll Island. I sourced a new master from 
Arizona and had it next day aired to me, had it installed and bled Dot 5 
through the system that had previously had DOt 4 and have had no problems. 
Brakes are good and no leaks, etc.
In my opinion, go for it ........
Again, my lines leaked so much EVERYWHERE when I installed the new lines 
that I would have totally ruined the new paint job and that would have 
really sucked.
