Good pricing. Wonder how long they will keep that price. I got mine from:

down time I have taken his lines and mine and shipped them to G&J aircraft in
Ontario, CA who created a set of templates so they can make brake lines and
clutch lines for anyone in the group who would like them. They now have
templates to make brake lines for 1989, 90, 97 & 98 and a clutch line for all
years. I did not have 94-96 lines to send them so if one of you wants a set for
those years you can send them the lines and they will make them for you.

made.

lines?

to prime your lines after installation. Using a turkey baster, get a piece of
hose that fits the bleeder and the baster. Use the baster to force fluid up the
line. Start at the furthest caliper then the closest. It took a few minutes to
force the fluid up the lines but way less than it normally takes to bleed from
the top side.
