Gernot,
You're absolutely right - I just discovered it in my parts catalogue. (Don't
know how I missed it when I was under the car, but it was late, dark,
cramped, and miserable, as was I!) I'll check if it is still patent, and, if
not, replace it and the front hoses ($41.50 each!) as well.
BTW, a friend of mine reckons copper brake lines will work-harden and
fatigue, due to vibration, and that I should stick with the factory steel
ones. Any comments from the Listers?
