1962 Lancer Wagon, Lancersaurus!
Got the brake lines finished and the clips installed. I was able to bend the front firewall line, remove the smaller fitting and install a larger fitting for the front, that worked well. As part of the dual master cylinder conversion I guess they wanted to change fitting size to avoid mixing front and rear lines. Made a mistake on getting 3/8 fuel line. I knew it was not for my car but figured I could make it work. Had to re-bend every angle and man that stuff even in common steel is very hard. Then after I got it in, it's about 8 inches too short. I could use a short section of tube to bridge the shortage, but I just don't like the way it looks. So I ordered a roll of 5/16 tubing and I will make it from scratch. I have the original line off the car to use as a template. So that will be for next week.
