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

Subject: [TR] Testing brake lines
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 ?
