Just returned from Brake and Equipment, and the prices have taken a jump. Last year a brake line and quart of brake fluid cost me about $12.50, and today I had to pay $47.89 for a line and quart of fluid.

The line was 10 feet 10 1/2" long and made from copper/nickel, so it won't rust, and the cost was $20, but add in labor (2 minutes to press in 2 bubble flares for $15) and environmental fees (I did nothing to hurt the environment) 2 fittings, and taxes, and it makes me wish my Oldsmobile had brake rods like my Model A. At least with brakes rods I have dependable brakes.
