Bob Drake Brake Lines

[Fred A]

One of the problems with buying in advance of need is that when they are to be used, any issue is blunted by time. Got around to restoring my '40 brake system. Recalled the long narrow box that they were shipped should have alerted me to the shock that was to come. Not cheap and relying on the Bob Drake reputation, what I have is five convoluted sticks of brake line that show no more that an approximate intent to fit. Can't decide if the worst is the cross the front or, the MC and the left side connector or, the line to the torque tube. The two lines to the rear wheels are pretty good. Clearly they would fit into the box. Went directly to Kube's book and read that there were two MC connectors used in '40. Early cars got the "keystone" or Y shape '39 connector which was replaced by a T shape. You get the picture. Consider Richard Lacy for brake lines. I would pay twice for a set that is right. Seems that I may need to anyway. Good Luck: Fred A
