Phil,
Small correction. Your comments could be construed to imply that the
flexible brake lines in the rear connect directly to the three-way union
atop the frame crossmember. As you know, there are two lengths of brake
line that connect to the union, which in turn connect to the flexible hoses.
I know what you meant, but for the sake of clarity I thought I should point
this out.
Best wishes,
