[TR] Testing brake lines

[wbeech at flash.net]

Andrew,

It won't give you actual 'in use' pressure level but a compressor with a
fitting modified to the line inlet set up and pressurized for 24 hours
should give you the best test of your handy work without a having any
high-pressure equipment.  Of course getting a companion to stand on the
brakes for a few minutes whilst you inspect everything is a good
full-pressure test but comes after you have the tub in place. 

My thoughts,
Bill

For the latest restoration, I have made my own brake lines, but I'd like to
know if they are good before reuniting the body with the frame.  Does anyone
have a suggestion how to pressure test the integrity of the lines without
jerry-rigging a set up with the reservoir, master cylinder and pedal
assembly ?
