Ain't like this Dry sump isn't going to add a couple of miles of that
Braided line... wow... Doug Odom had a great point somewhere along the way
that I thought I might pass on..... Always try and plan for straight
connectors for that Braided stuff.... it's a bunch cheaper.
and after playing with them all I have found that the Aeroquip is just nice
stuff to work with... seems to go together a bit better then all the other
brands...
