Ahh, do they connect to the bottom of the shock shaft?
Yea, copper brake line....... that's actually illegal. I found that out with my S11a years ago, the reasoning is that when the copper is exposed to really cold temps and then is heated up from braking, this tempers the pipe ever so slightly, combine this over say ten-even fifteen years and the lines crack causin brake failure. I know I know, I was just as sinical as you guys about this but.......my clutch line was made of copper and it actually fractured at the flare causing me to loose all my clutch fluid. Wether it was the result of long time tempering or the vibration of a LR who knows. Cheers |
